Bousteads Big Brother

[The Partisan]

Escaping the heat yesterday, I snuck under the house with a couple of stubs and old RLW's. On reading an article on Kerry Boustead he mentions his older brother playing for Wynum AND Queensland. This was news to me and I can't remember any talk of it at the time - late 70's.

Any of you Gull fans / historians able to confirm this ???

Actually is there anywhere you can get a full list of players who have represented Queensland ?

I recall an Ian Boustead playing for the Gulls but I have no idea as to whether or not he is Kerry's brother.

That was the name in the article - I think.

He is indeed a brother, and I think he ended up playing for both Wynnum Manly and Valleys. He had plenty of toe, too. He played centre and wing for the Seagulls in 78, and I think he played for Valleys afterwards.

You are spot on.

Ian Boustead had plenty of ability - one of the better centres to play for Wynnum. He played in 1976 when the Gulls were comparatively strong although lacking a couple of class front rowers, and again in 1979. Don't recall him being at Valleys.

In '76, the Wynnum backline had a field day running off Neville Hornery's passes. I've got a programme from 25/7/76 when Wynnum beat eventaul Premiers Wests 27 - 12 at Lang Park. Great teams -

Wynnum - Ron Milne, Ian Boustead, John Rhodes, Ross Nunn, Warren Orr, Jim Fredricksen, Greg Denman, Neil Kingston, Ian Ogbourne, Nev Hornery, Ken Churchil, John Dowling, Bob Clapham

Wests - Greg McCarthy, Michael Flesser, Harry Cameron, Steve Crear, Mick Reardon, Geoff Richardson, Greg Oliphant, John Ribot, Norm Carr, Rod Bradshaw, Henry Williamson, Kel Brown, John Young

Referee - Bernie Pramberg

Ian Boustead wasn't Kerry's brother when he came to Wynnum because no one had ever heard of Kerry. :lol: Kerry started off as being labelled Ian's brother but that soon changed.

Any idea of whether he played for QLD ? Or where a record of Qld Players can be found ?

Yeah - me !

All part of the book .... :roll:

Will we be able to read it or will it be something to tell our grand kids to look out for. ;-)

:lol: :?

I'd be almost certain Ian Boustead didn't play for Queensland.

Ian Boustead played for Queensland against NSW in the 2nd game of the 1976 series. He only played one game. ;-)

Thanks for that. I added the "almost" in my previous post because I had a vague feeling that he might have played one game. Didn't have a clue when.
