From humble beginnings living in a relatives shed for a time while also getting by as a family after his father was injured in a workplace accident confining him to a wheelchair. We speak about success in sport, premierships, business success and fatherhood as well as the tough times he endured through failed businesses and relationships leading to a bout of depression. Bakesy speaks about what it meant to bring success to his beloved Wynyard and how this also helped him get through the tough times. He also throws in a few stories from times on the drink and in the UK which are a great yarn. Anyone who knows Bakesy knows how engaging he is to chat to, a great character who loves a red wine and is an open book on life.
