Signed Broncos Mini Ball Langer Renouf Lazarus Ansett 1990s Ex Staff Provenance
DESCRIPTION:
Signed Brisbane Broncos Mini Rugby League Ball — Ansett Australia — Early 1990s
An Ansett Australia branded mini rugby league ball, hand-signed across both panels in blue ballpoint by the Brisbane Broncos squad of the early 1990s.
Provenance: I worked for Ansett International and acquired this ball during that period. It has been in my possession since. I'm selling it directly, not as a reseller, and I'm happy to answer any questions about its history.
The signatures are hand-applied, not printed — the ink sits on the surface with visible pen pressure, and the style, size and angle vary from one signature to the next.
Identified signatures:
Ten signatures have been individually identified:
Allan Langer
Steve Renouf
Glenn Lazarus
Kevin Walters
John Plath
Mark Hohn
Gavin Allen
Chris Johns
Julian O'Neill
Brett Plowman
A number of further signatures are on the ball that I have not been able to identify — there is discovery left in it for someone who knows the era well.
Every identified player was part of the Brisbane Broncos squad of the early 1990s, placing this ball in the club's 1992–93 back-to-back premiership period. Each signature is photographed close up so you can verify for yourself.
