Hunter sporting icon Munro was the centre of attention at Maitland Greyhounds on Monday night at the running of the John Munro Appreciation and the Barbara, Kim & Jamie Appreciation.
Unfortunately, his wife Barbara was unable to attend as she was not well, but Munro thanked her for all her support over the years.
From his storied career as a greyhound trainer, harness racing horse owner to those magical hands which kept Newcastle Knights royalty such as Andrew and Matty Johns and Paul Harragon and other sporting greats on the field, Munro, 87, has earned legend status several times over.

Since starting in 1985 at the then Melbourne Herald, journalism has taken me around Australia from Victoria, to the Northern Territory, Cairns in Queensland and now Port Stephens. After all those years there is still something special about informing and connecting with readers.
