Dave Evans was a true Gordon legend - Part 1

David John Evans was born at Merewether, a suburb of Newcastle, on 13 December 1919. His family moved to Cobar Street, Willoughby, close to that suburb’s boundary with Artarmon, when he was seven. He had two brothers, Trevor and Basil, and went to Artarmon Primary School.

His father, also David, was a keen cricketer who had played First Grade with the Randwick club. This keenness rubbed off on Dave at an early age and he soon found that there was a backyard in Cooney Road, Artarmon, not far away, which was like a miniature Sydney Cricket Ground
