Streptomycin was a hero drug in treating tuberculosis after WWII and Ray Flockton would have been aware of it through an abundance of articles published about it in the’50s. Its inventor was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1944 for its discovery and it freed sufferers from the uncertainty of sanitarium care and towards a cure. Good nickname. Great article. Thanks.
I was fortunate to have Gordon as coach of my first local club side, under 8s in 1970. My old man was about the same age as Gordon but nowhere near as good a cricketer; Charlie was in absolute awe of Gordon and emphasised our good fortune to have him as our coach
I played two First Grade games in the Illawarra and dropped a catch at second slip off Barry Bates. He would have been 35 and me 18. Didn’t get a finger to the ball before it put a hole in my chest just about. He was a big guy!
