Hailing from Maryborough, ‘Horrie’ became Kookaburra #272 when he pulled on the green and gold for the first time against England in Canberra — and even found the back of the net on debut 🏑👏

Across an 11-year career, Horrie played 231 games and scored an incredible 179 goals — both national records at the time of his retirement.
