This is Through the Pickets, a podcast proudly brought to you by the New Zealand Cricket Players Association where we showcase our members interests, achievements and experiences either side of the white picket fence, with more of a lens on their off-field endeavours.
Today’s Episode features a father of three who was born in Taumarunui and dedicated the bulk of his life serving the community of Papatoetoe where he moved to as a child. He was deputy and acting Mayor of Manukau City, Chairman of the Papatoetoe Community Board and councillor of the ward, and President of Auckland Cricket not to mention representing the Blackcaps from 1976-86. In his career he bowled in excess of 24,000 balls for a return of 438 wickets and most recently Gary Troup is giving back to the game as a Match Referee.
