Brad Clyde can’t hide his excitement as his beloved Canberra Raiders storm towards their first premiership since 1994.
The former champion lock forward knows better than most what it takes to win a competition.
Rated as one of the best players of all time, Clyde burst onto the rugby league scene in the late 1980s before becoming a household name through the 1990s.
He played in three grand finals and was awarded the Clive Churchill medal on two occasions. He played a key role in Canberra’s 1989 grand final win over Balmain - which is regarded by many as the greatest grand final of all time.
In this episode of Chiming In, Clyde shares his thoughts on Canberra’s amazing charge to the top of the ladder this year and explains why his former team-mate Ricky Stuart was always going to become a super coach.
He also talks about his amazing career and some of the incredible characters he met along the way.
