In November 2024, 40 years after making his commentary debut, Grant ‘Nisbo’ Nisbett called his 350th All Blacks test match- that’s over half of ALL the test matches the All Blacks have ever played!
'Nisbo' is 74 years old and still at the peak of his broadcasting powers and this is a small part of the Grant Nisbett story.
We cover a lot of stuff here:
+ His career goals for the future.
+ His early years in broadcasting including going to the Olympics in 1976 to cover the boxing.
+ His best All Black stories.
+ Commentating cricket with the great Richie Benaud.
+ A rare peak into his private life including the loss of his wife Toni and his relationship with his two adult daughters and his new partner, Shona.
+ How he ended up naked and locked outside his hotel room. Twice.
+ And much more.
There will never ever be another ‘Nisbo’ so this was a huge honour and I hope you guys enjoy it.
