Tommy Herschell is fast becoming one of the best known names in Australian sport. And he hasn’t had to make a tackle, sink a putt or wield the willow to catch the headlines.

The founder of a charity called Findyafeet - Tommy and his team run school, sporting and community based workshops for people young and old.

It provides a platform for people to tell their story, the skills to own their stuff and the tools to shift culture that’s been holding them back from speaking up for far too long.

Today rugby league stars Nico Hynes, Luke Lewis, Harry Grant, Sam Thaiday and Dale Finucane have all teamed with the charity to lend a hand.

Other famous athletes including Matthew Hayden, Sam Riley, Mitch and Shaun Marsh, Ky Hurst, Geoff Huegill and many others have also joined the cause.

This year Tommy has begun working with several NRL clubs and the results have been astounding.

Bob Tate is one of Sydney’s best known publicans - you name it, he’s seen it.

In the 1990s Tate owned and ran the Clovelly Hotel, deep in the heart of Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Rugby league, union, cricket, AFL and surf lifesaving stars would flock there - making it one of the best known sporting pubs in the country. Jockeys, trainers and bookmakers would also frequent the establishment.

In this episode of Chiming In, Tate shares countless yarns about the sports men and women who often walked a fine line with a belly full of beer.

The Sydney Morning Herald’s Roy Masters once described the pub as the headquarters of the NRL where all the big deals were done.

Tate’s recollection of the thrills and spills at the famous pub are enlightening and entertaining.
