Graeme Thorpe and other players and curators of the 1980s - Penrith Cricket Club
Graeme Thorpe, ‘Thorpey’, as he was affectionately known, joined Penrith Cricket Club from Bankstown in 1978/79. He was like the movie character Rocky in appearance – a thatch of black hair, unruly and curled at the ends, with bright eyes and a weathered face. There was earnestness to his character, a serious air that conveyed the message that he meant business and if the going was going to get tough then he’d like an invitation to be there.
