Vale Max 'Tangles' Walker 1948-2016

An admirable participant at elite level in both VFL and 1st class cricket, Max also ranked high in the public mind as an all-round bonzer bloke. I fondly remember meeting him in person when he was invited to be guest speaker at a gathering of Caricaturists' in Melbourne.

I reckon he more than justified his advance publicity. He WAS the genuine article IMO.

During 1977,I did a pen and ink caricature 'rough' of Max for a purpose long since forgotten... but it probably had something to do with the formation of 'World Series' cricket around that time. For some reason I coloured his hair on what was essentially just a black and white scribble.
