Was it Rowe that was labelled the "Black Bradman"? I think it was.

I find it interesting that it has only occurred 6 times and it took 90 years for Dougie Walters to do it first
having a look at the list, at least all of the batsmen are class acts (probably to a lesser extent Rowe)

No, that was George Headley. Headley played around the same time as Bradman.
His son also played for the West Indies, while he had a grandson who played for England in the 90s.

How about Roelf Vos?

(when I was last in Tas, all the Woolies down south were called Safeways, and all the ones up north were Roelf Vos)

Or if you mean the first supermarket they opened, that was "Food Fair", I think.

Given that it obviously differed from your answer, I went and researched on the Woolies website.

http://www.woolworths.com.au/AboutUs/OurStory/ wrote:In December 1924, Woolworths' first ever store - the Woolworths Stupendous Bargain Basement, opened in the old Imperial Arcade in Pitt Street, Sydney.


I was close with what I recalled, but obviously your question is after something else.
