The world is now a little sadder and has lost a little ray of sunshine with the passing of Artie Beetson. A legendary footballer whose deeds are well known but an even more legendary human being who touched the hearts of many, from those aged 5 up to those aged 105. He is revered throughout the rugby league world from QLD to England to everywhere in between - even 30 years after he last played. It didn't matter which club or state you supported, we all loved Artie. League legend - certainly. League Immortal - no question. Can their be anything higher? Arthur Henry Beetson Born: Jan 22 1945 Roma QLD Died: Dec 1 2011 Gold Coast QLD RIP big fella. |
