Garry Jack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Garry Jack was a fullback for the Balmain Tigers during the late 1980s and early 1990s, under the captaincy of Wayne Pearce and the coaching of Warren Ryan. Jack was a talented defender and represented for the New South Wales State of Origin side, and also for Australia. Despite having prodigious talent, he was regularly forced to compete for the number 1 jersey at both state and national level with Gary Belcher, another talented fullback who played for the Canberra Raiders against Jack in the 1989 Grand Final.
[edit] State of Origin Career
Jack made 17 appearances for New South Wales in State of Origins between 1984 and 1999. He was as safe as they come under the high ball and a tremendous last line of defence.
In 2005 he was named one of the 25 greatest ever NSW players.
In 2005, Garry's son Keiran was drafted to the Australian Football League's Sydney Swans. [1]
