Mike was one of my favourite players. I was 10 and my team met him, at a NSW game with my school cricket team. He wasnt playing and said he'd sign some autographs. *wait there and I'll be back in a second. We waited. And waited. For 2 hours. Eventually my dad came and found me. We were all so upset and our parents were furious. We missed watching the game standing around waiting. I'm sure he most probably forgot. But we never did. I cried so much. I still remember the feeling if being letdown by our hero.
Before I came to Australia, in my mind Mike Whitney was Australia. When i did arrive, I wasn't disappointed.. He is a True Aussie Icon in my books..
My childhood right there!! Looks the same, unbelievable!!
Love ya Mike - what a legend
