Hey guys, was just wondering if this name is familiar to anyone on the boards?

Big lumbering ruckman of the late '60s. He was a schoolboy player from the country and went to Melbourne High School in his first year at the club. Nickname "Chook" and he came with a big reputation but didn't set the world on fire.

Do you know why he was called chook?

It would be a pretty fair bet that the nickname "Chook" was a play on words with his surname - FOWL er.
