    Yep a fascinating story; it would have been great if he had told all and written a book before he died.

    Keith Murdoch certainly had a bad reputation back in his playing days. How founded or unfounded that was is unclear.

    His singular attitude didn't impress the authorities of a team sport back in the seventies and the opportunity to send him home was probably eagerly seized.

    I knew he'd retired 'suddenly' but had no knowledge of the rest of it.

    Thanks for posting @Henry Irving and RIP Keith Murdoch. As a player he was a decent prop forward.
