Past Attendee Testimonials
"I travel over from Auckland with a few mates to the FOG’s luncheon which in my opinion is the best sporting luncheon you could ever attend. Walking into the huge room at Suncorp immediately reminds of that first game in 1980. I was coaching Norths in Brisbane at the time and we went as a team to watch Artie lead his Origin team to the historic victory it was. Little did I know that in 1991 and 1992, I would have the honour and privilege to be Queensland’s coach. So for me personally being at the FOG’s luncheon, I feel a great sense of pride and the memories just flood back. Thank you Queensland and especially my former players, for the honour, the thrill and the privilege to coach your team!"
