Ric Salizzo Reflects on SportsCafe & Marc Ellis, Friendships with Jonah Lomu, John Kirwan and more!
Ric Salizzo is New Zealand sports broadcasting royalty.
His CV is too long to list in full but a few highlights:
He became the All Blacks' first ever media liaison officer in the early 90s and was part of the ABs set up during the chaos of Jonah-mania in 1995.
He created, and hosted the cult TV show Sports Café which ran for 11 years. Then launched The Crowd Goes Wild.
We cover a lot of ground in this conversation- Ric is a world class storyteller with stories that are truly world class. I hope you guys like this one as much as I did.
