The teenage trip to America that opened his eyes to the memorabilia business while hoping to meet and watch the legendary Michael Jordan play.

Being trusted by Muhammad Ali for a decade and the surreal moment with him on Mick Doohan’s boat ‘My Way’ on Sydney Harbour during the 2000 Olympic Games.

Working with ‘Mighty Mick’ and getting some of his first autographs in San Fransisco after a career changing crash.
