DAVID MORROW died on 17 July 2024 aged 71 after a long battle with brain cancer.
Mr Morrow played just one season, 1973-74, for SUCC when he was an undergraduate. He was then widely regarded as a sports broadcaster and commentator for over 50 years, firstly with the ABC and then with radio station 2GB. He covered eight Olympic Games and six Commonwealth Games in a distinguished and versatile career. But it was his calling rugby league games where he was best known. ARLC Chairman Peter Vlandys commented: “David has been one of the great voices of the game, recognized around the country for his wit, insight and knowledge.”
Just a week before he died, David was told that he would be inducted into the NRL Hall of Fame. He followed Rugby League with a passion especially the St George Illawarra Dragons.
He was a longtime delegate from Eastern Suburbs CC to the Sydney Cricket Association.
The Club’s sympathy is extended to all of Mr Morrow’s family.
