RIP Ross Livermore

[ningnangnong]

THE Queensland rugby league community has been rocked by the sudden death of former chief executive Ross Livermore.

Livermore, an iconic figure in Queensland rugby league, passed away unexpectedly this morning. He was 68.

Livermore was one of the code's most respected figures, presiding over Queensland rugby league's governance for 31 years between 1980-2011.

He was at the coalface during the birth of State of Origin, a trusted lieutenant for legendary former chairman Ron McAuliffe and played a key role in the creation of the Independent Commission.
