Grant Fox is one of the best to have ever worn the All Blacks No10 jersey and is still regarded as one of the finest goal-kickers of all time.
He scored 645 points across 46 tests, and played nearly 200 games for Auckland in domestic rugby. He's been involved in New Zealand rugby for over 40 years as a player, coach, and for the last 10 years as an All Blacks selector. Since retiring from playing in 1993 he's also been a business owner, a broadcaster, and a dad to Ryan Fox – New Zealand's top golfer – and daughter Kendall.
In this episode we talk about Grant's relationship with Ryan and the best stories from being his caddy, his 40-year friendship with the late Martin Crowe – and the bet they made at school, the best lessons learned as a father - and grandfather, what it's really like to be an All Blacks selector, Sir John Kirwan, the Lions, winning the 1987 Rugby World Cup, Joe Schmidt and what the future holds.
At times, this chat got quite emotional. Grant stressed how 'being vulnerable' is a big part of the current All Blacks playbook, and we're grateful he was comfortable enough to share with us some of the most tender moments across his incredible life – and some really important messages about being present for your kids.
