Show Notes
Former Australian rugby star Wendell Sailor, a dual-code legend, faces court after two alcohol-fueled arrests. The fifty-one-year-old, once the top try-scorer in Australias two thousand World Cup win, pleaded guilty to charges including resisting police and intimidation. These stem from outbursts at bars in Sydney and Wollongong. Sailors lawyer now pushes for charges to be dropped on mental health grounds, amid his ongoing separation from his wife of nearly thirty years. The court will decide on this bid this Friday, highlighting struggles for ex-athletes long after the glory days end.
