Speaker 2 (00:06):
A day in History, twenty third day of September. Here
on gold sport And it was today, the twenty third
of September nineteen eighty that Bob Marley collapsed on stage
during a concert at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
It would be his final performance live on stage, the

(00:27):
last time ever appeared on stage. He died of cancer
in May of nineteen eighty one. Remembering the legendary Bob Marley,
Let's go back to nineteen thirty one and today. The
New Zealand Rugby Football Union the Management Committee met in
Wellington and decided to accept the offer of a trophy

(00:47):
from the Governor General, Lord Bledisloe and have it played
for in test batches between New Zealand and Australia. Thus,
the Bledisloe Cup was at stake for the first time
when the two met in nineteen thirty two. Here you go,
we began today jump forward to two thousand, staying with
sport and at the Sydney Olympics, New Zealand won it's

(01:10):
only gold medal at those Olympic Games when single scholar
Rob Woodell charged forward to win the gold. Yes, our
only gold medal. It was on this day in two thousand.
Right to the famous people. Birthday today and topping the listers,

(01:34):
my dear old thing Henry Calthorpe Blowfield, retired British sports
journalist and cricket commentator, had a wonderful way with words.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
And the thunder and the lafty you could hear it
in the sound defects was a blistering backfall. And that's
another one. You will look out on the ground and
really it. Before long it's going to be underwater pretty
well with double waper's weather, and yes it is. It's
absolutely amazing and I wouldn't have missed this for the world.

Speaker 2 (02:04):

was wonderful. Willio Iglesias, Happy birthday to him today. The
girls ah yes to all the girls I've loved before.
He is eighty one today. Former drummer for the band
Alice Cooper. Happy birthdays to Neil Smith turning seventy seven.

Very special birthday today too for the Boss, Bruce Frederick
Joseph Springsteen, absolute legend. The Boss is seventy five today,

spanning six decades and it's George Costanza's birthday today, played

four in hayf it's your birthday today. Many happy returns

(03:14):
of the day to you. You share it with the Boss.
Bruce Springsteen. This is Goldsport and the Country Sport Breakfast
eleven minutes away from nine. Going back to the Bledisloe
Cup being you know, instituted today in nineteen thirty one.
But someone, apparently, the story goes, made a retrospective judgment
and the cup actually bears a plaque showing that it

(03:36):
was first one by New Zealand in nineteen thirty one,
eleven days before the New Zealand Rugby Football Union's decision.
We met for the first time in nineteen thirty two.
So there he goes to a little fun fact
