Rugby league great Arthur Summons dies aged 84

Australian rugby league great Arthur Summons has died at the age of 84.

Summons, who underwent major surgery in 2018 to remove cancer from his mouth, died on Saturday night.

The former Australian captain and coach is famously remembered for being in the iconic photograph with rival forward Norm Provan taken at the SCG following the 1963 grand final.

The image is depicted in the NRL premiership trophy named in their honour.

More to come.
