Don Furner laid the foundations for two of the code's greatest modern dynasties, was a driving force behind the establishment of the Canberra Raiders and had a huge influence on the careers of Wayne Bennett, Arthur Beetson, Glenn Lazarus and many others.
Furner, who passed away on Monday night after a long illness, was heavily involved in rugby league for most of his 87 years as a player, coach or administrator, and handed on his love for the game to sons Don, the current Raiders CEO, and David, who played and coached at the club.
