Darren Lockyer
Darren Lockyer (born 24 March 1977 in Brisbane, Queensland) is an Australian rugby league television commentator and former player. An Australia international and Queensland State of Origin representative captain, Lockyer spent his entire professional career with Brisbane Broncos and is frequently hailed as one of the greatest players of all-time.〔(Lockyer the greatest of them all in greatest game of all, says Smith )〕 During his 17-year career he set appearance records for his club, state and country, and also set additional all-time records for most National Rugby League appearances, most State of Origin appearances, most games as captain and most tries for the Australian national team, and highest ever point-scorer for the Broncos. Additionally, he was never suspended or charged by the NRL judiciary system during his entire career.
Named at fullback in Queensland Rugby League's Team of the Century (1998–2007), Lockyer won three grand finals with the Broncos (including a Clive Churchill Medal), a World Cup with Australia, and the Golden Boot Award for world's best player in this position before switching to five-eighth. In the halves, Lockyer won a fourth grand final with the Broncos, a record six consecutive State of Origin series with Queensland, and a second Golden Boot Award.
==Background==
Lockyer was born in Brisbane, Queensland. His father, David, played Australian rules football for ten years in Brisbane with Morningside and introduced Darren to the game at four years of age. Two years later, Darren started playing Aussie rules for Springwood, finishing runner-up in the best and fairest award in his first season. The following season he would win the club's best and fairest award by 17 votes, despite having to travel 800 kilometres every weekend to play when the family moved to the small country town of Wandoan midway through the season. Travelling commitments and a lack of Australian rules football clubs around the Wandoan area forced Darren to quit the game and take up rugby league.
He played rugby league for school and club in Wandoan for four years before moving to Roma and playing for the Cities Gladiators. He made his first grade debut at 15 and played fullback for his Roma club.〔(Former Origin Greats - Darren Lockyer )〕 In 1994, he traveled to Ipswich for a junior rugby league carnival where he caught the eye of Brisbane Broncos talent scout Cyril Connell and coach Wayne Bennett. After impressing at the carnival, he moved to Brisbane and accepted a $2000 scholarship with the Broncos. He also worked as a bartender at the Broncos Leagues Club to make ends meet. Later that year, he officially signed a $10,000 playing contract with the Broncos.
