In a gripping edition of Fox League’s Face to Face, Brisbane Broncos coach Kevin Walters talked candidly about his relationship with NSW great Tommy Raudonikis, his family, and some amusing stories about Alfie Langer.

Walters told Yvonne Sampson about how his family watched the legendary Arthur Beetson go wild at Lang Park during the inaugural State of Origin game.

“We were no chance of getting tickets,” Walters stated. With a pair of pliers in hand, (dad) made a hole in the fence. Together with perhaps ten thousand other Queenslanders, we all just climbed through. It was during the full day!

“I was just thirteen years old. All I can recall is his enthusiasm for Queensland. They all believed he was too elderly. With an intensity that no one had ever seen coming from Queensland, he simply decimated New South Wales.

“I remember wanting to do that myself one day and remembering going home in the back seat of that yellow (Holden) Kingswood from that point on.”
