TP McLean Interview

Television (Full Length) – 1990

(‘Tiny’ Richard White) said ‘You don’t break a man’s arm in a test match’. I agree.
– on Colin Meads
... none of these reporters appears to write a piece until he has been told by the captain and the manager of each team what has gone on in the play. In my time as soon as the last whistle sounded we used to peel off the tops of our typewriters and stat belting ... and some hours later we’d come to the surface.
– Terry McLean

– Terry McLean
