Stan Pilecki
R.I.P.
Fabulous servant to Queensland and Australian rugby and a larger than life bloke.
Stan was a real character. When the Wallabies were in Fiji (I think it was late 70's) they were playing a provincial side prior to a test. Bob Templeton the coach gave me & a mate some free tickets at the resort they & us (by coincidence) were staying at. After the game which was about 16 klms away, Bob made the non-players of the day jog back, Stan being one of them. When they arrived back not long after the bus returned, the other wallaby joggers were puffing with hands on knees. Not Stan. He got straight up into the bus, got his gear and pulled out a fag. Probably his way of telling Bob he didn't really need the jog. A true 'Legend in his own lifetime'.
