They call him Immortal. It is the way he sees life. Whether hooking a flathead, going the grope, sending a oyster south or dropping the tweeds H.G. swears in or out it's is worth a shout.

A few This Sporting Life fans have written a few words of their own, about HG:

· Forget what you may or may not have heard before, this is the real deal. This hard man goes the hard yards in the name of a good loud root for Australia.
from: Shay

· Whether he's lazing next to the shores soaking up the sunshine of Corrimal Beach or going in hard at the Coal-face of Port Kembla's refinery, you can always count on the wisdom, the knowledge and sheer determination of the man...no, the legend...they simply call HG.
from: Kieran

· Mr Perpetual Motion, 2nd only to the great Jimmy Little for going the extra yards to tell it like it is. One of lifes Great Feud holders.
from: magnus2

· A man who thinks things through. If you go yabbying with him you know you are guaranteed to get a good feed, and some sure winners at the dogs.
from: Fiona

· He talks it up, he talks it loud, by talking about aus, he does us all proud.
from: matt peachey

· You know when HG's around, the greasepole music is roaring and he's doing his act for the sporting world of porn.
