Danny Shepherd was a rugby league footballer in the Australian Rugby League (ARL) competition.
A promising front-row forward, Shepherd was struck down by severe sunstroke during an early season match against the Gold Coast in 1990. After eleven days near death at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital, Shepherd went on to make a full recovery, though never playing first grade football again.
Famous quotes containing the word shepherd:
“The shepherd is the brain behind the dog’s brain,
But his control of dog, like dog’s of sheep
Is never absolute—that’s the beauty of it.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
