In the early 70s at a Sheffield Shield match at the SCG, Sgt 3/c Bob Lenton and I had the honour of accompanying Sir Donald Bradman out to the pitch during the lunch break. The Don took out a stump and played one of his shots, to the roar of the crowd. We then walked with him to the newly built Sir Donald Bradman Stand for the official opening.

Good bloke, Bob.

RIP, mate.
