LIVE LAUGH LOVE
The greatest coach ever Jack Gibson has sadly passed tonight!
I can't believe it happened tonight of all nights! Petere sterling is shattered
 
That there was...although it was disgraceful that people yelled during the minute of silence.

Sorry to hear about his passing. He was an innovator of the game.
 
Those people are horrible i could not believe it, did you hear the guy yell show some #$%^ing respect! well said, its just such a shame and he will be sadly missed!
 
Those people should be kicked out of the stadium, probably Kiwis though.

R.I.P Jack Gibson, such an innovator that he used to travel to America and learn techniques from NFL teams and bring back new equipment for teams to train with.
 
Rugby league coach of the century Jack Gibson has died after a lengthy illness.

His family today said the five-time premiership winning coach had passed away at 6.32pm AEST in Sydney after suffering from Alzheimer's disease and dementia for the past two years.


Gibson was last month named as the coach of rugby league's Team of the Century, with his passing marked tonight with a minute's silence before kickoff at the Centenary Test between Australia and New Zealand at the SCG.

"Jack passed away comfortably today, at 6.32pm at the Garawarra Centre, Waterfall, surrounded by his family,'' a statement said.


"We greatly appreciate the wonderful care he had received at Garrawarra, and also the caring and kind support afforded to us, the family.


"We are dealing as well as we can and would ask that Jack's many friends in their sadness that he is no longer with us, do not feel too sorry.


"Jack would not want that; it was his own strong belief and appreciation that he had had a very fortunate life, and we know he would have wanted that to be the spirit of this time.''
 
Yeh no offence, but I think they were Kiwi's. It was quite embarrassing.

Such a good night sadly not now with the passing... I'm sure he watched the game from above.

RIP

I agree with you. I was absolute disgusted that people would lack the decency to abide a respectful code of silence.

RIP.
 
We just had this debate.

Why would they be Kiwi's?
Why would they be Aussies?

Why are we even talking about this... lets just remember him!

RIP.
 
I don't know a lot about him, but his record speaks for itself, and whatever I have heard him speak his charisma and knowledge has been evidence.

He'll be missed by plenty, and has inspired many of the greats to outdo themselves. Farewell Jack!
