Anita Bath Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 . . . (at least where I am writing this from) club legend Apisai Toga passed away at the young age of 28. One of the club's Fijian contingent he signed for the all conquering St George Dragons in 1967. He had cut his foot on coral back home in Fiji and collapsed and died from tetanus during a pre season training session, just 4 days after returning to Australia. For those too young to remember Apisai, just Google his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Doug Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I do not remember a Fijian who was not a great player.

Excolt 1 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I remember Toga carrying about four Blackpool players over the try line from about ten yards out at Borough Park. Great days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
