Dave Hetherington
It is my sad duty to inform our members of the passing of Dave Hetherington after a short illness
Dave was the last of the original post war Old Boys of the club and a staunch supporter to the last.
He started with Manukau Rovers as a youth and played for the club for the senior side until 1941.
In that year he was promoted to captain the senior side and they won through to the finals of the Gallaher Shield. The Auckland Rugby Union reportedly stacked the Army team with All Blacks and Manukau were defeated in the finals. Dave never played rugby for Manukau again, such was the resolve of the man.
He attended Old Boy meetings regularly for a couple of quiet beers and the company of people he knew. At 92 he could still enjoy a beer.
