Born and raised in Tasmania, Tim Lane started work at the local Edgell factory before a chance conversation with a local sports personality lead to an opportunity to call football on radio. That was in 1972.
From that start Tim has become one of the most respected sport commentators in Australia, with a C.V. that includes over 20 AFL /VFL Grand Finals, 15 seasons of international cricket, six Commonwealth Games and five Olympic Games. He lists his greatest individual sporting highlight as calling Cathy Freeman’s 400 meter final at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Tim has been inducted into the Melbourne Cricket Ground Media Hall of Fame and is also in the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame. Somewhere along the way he became an avid supporter of the Carlton Football Club.
Michael Clarke Interviewed by Tim Lane
Michael Clarke’s journey is in many ways similar to ours and in other ways unimaginably different. We all have goals and dreams, challenges and triumphs and ups and downs.
However ours aren’t played out on the pages of the major newspapers, on the television and across the internet. How would you cope with the expectation of an entire nation weighing on your performance every day you turned up for work? Would you appreciate having every mistake you’ve made commented on in the daily newspapers?
In what promises to be a highlight of this year’s convention Michael Clarke, current Australian Test Cricket Captain and regarded by many as the best Test batsman in the world over the past two years, will discuss with Tim Lane his professional career and leadership and consider his favourite moments, greatest triumphs and also his greatest challenges.
