Dally Messenger established the first Rugby League team in Manilla.

Annie and Dally took over the Royal Hotel on July 12, 1917. Annie’s life was disastrously cut short on June 23, 1919. Annie and Dally both caught the Bubonic Plague/ Flu. (The Bubonic Plague caused the death of more people worldwide than died in World War 1 (1914-18)). Dally survived, Annie didn’t. She was only 42 years of age, her toddler son, was only five. Dally had to sell the hotel and return to Sydney with his young son.

Dead Famous is our special series dedicated to honouring the remark...
