Very sad to hear about Teeps, I served at Irirangi with him and of course, played footie together as well ! RIP mate
I remember Warren in 1971 as a killick (Well I think he was a killick, because he sure acted like one. I was straight out of training then, so very very green, impressionable and wet behind the ears) Worked in the commcen in Stout street and our living quarters was in fort dorset. a really nice guy who attracted the women.
we (including Charlie Chase, and Harold Morris) had a really good time then.Very warm and fond memories.
Hard to forget.
RIP Warren,
