Time for sporting history and today I'm joined by rugby league legend Mark Graham

 Mark started out playing for Otahuhu, then from 1977 to 1988 he played 29 tests for the Kiwis and was captain for 18 of them.

He also played in the Australian Rugby League premiership and in the UK as captain of Wakefield Trinity.

Mark is widely regarded as the best rugby league player to ever come out of New Zealand .. and that's not just us saying it .. in 2007 he was named the New Zealand player of the century and was the first Kiwi inducted into the NRL Hall of Fame.
