Former Australian Test cricketer Max Walker passed away 28 September 2016 at the age of 68. He lived a full and loveable life.

Born in Hobart, Tasmania, Walker went on to play VFL Football for Melbourne Demons (85 games), Shield cricket for Victoria and Test cricket for Australia.

He would often reflect on playing cricket for Australia, “My goodness, I’m a kid from Hobart Tasmania, what am I’m doing share a dressing room with Dennis Lillee, Ian Chappell, Greg Chappell, Dougie Walters, Rodney Marsh, Ian Redpath, Keith Stackpole…..it was such a privilege.”

Off the sports field Max Walker, affectionately known as Tangles because of his tangled bowling action of “right arm over left earhole” became a popular and infectious TV personality, author of 14 books, an engaging storyteller and a much sought after public speaker.
