I worked with a lady who was part of the first GB Rugby League teams to tour Australia and win a series. She was recently inducted into the RL Hall of Fame.

Jeez. I suspect that among my friends, family and acquaintances, the closest anyone has got to renown is being featured on Police 5.

And remember, keep 'em peeled.
