History with Dave presents you another epic story based on one of the greats of PNG Rugby League scene that many may have not heard about or have forgotten. He is non other than Paul Chue, Papua New Guinea Kumuls first ever captain.
Chue was born in Papua New Guinea and took up rugby union in his school years at St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill in Sydney. He was the first boy of Asian heritage to make that school's rugby first XV when selected in 1963. Following school he studied commerce at the University of New South Wales.
Back in New Guinea Chue took to rugby league and in 1973 captained a Rabaul representative side. He made his sole national representative appearance for the Kumuls in their debut international match against England in Port Moresby in 1975. That match was played to celebrate the new nation's independence.
Chue's business career was with the PNG soft drink firm Pacific Industries Ltd founded by his father Gabriel Achun Chue. Paul Chue ran that business from 1968 and was later succeeded by his son Everett.....
