Grant Fox
Inducted in 1999
Grant Fox was a prolific points scorer and astute tactician for Auckland and the All Blacks during the 80s when both were dominant.
Sporting Category:
  • Rugby Union
He played 46 tests for New Zealand (78 matches overall) between 1984 and 1993 and scored a record 1067 points, 645 in tests (the previous record had been 207 by Don Clarke).

His Ranfurly Shield, Auckland and New Zealand tallies were all records, as was his total of 46 tests at first five-eighth. His 433 points in first-class rugby during the 1989 season was also a record.

Fox’s scoring success rate was such that it often obscured his value as a first five-eighth and a strategist, a value that was even more appreciated after his retirement after the Lions series in 1993.

Sporting Spotlight

Kevin Skinner

(1927 - )

Skinner was one of the great All Black props of the 40s and early 50s but his fame almost entirely centres on his coming out of retirement in 1956 to bolster the New Zealand pack against South Africa in one of the most tumultuous series New Zealand has seen.
