A portrait of David was unveiled on the night, a very emotional tribute. He was instrumental in opening pathways for NZ players, and coaches, to play and coach in the UK. He sat on the NZRL Executive Board for a number of years from 1986 and in 2012, was made a Life Member of NZRL for his services to the game.
