The SMH: The touching gesture he'll always remember -- IT WAS the moment a cinematic gladiator reduced a footballing warrior to tears. Before his first match for the Rabbitohs - a trial game against Manly before a few hundred diehard fans - Russell Crowe escorted Sam Burgess to the southern end of Redfern Oval. It was there, on sacred South Sydney soil, that Crowe handed Burgess a club membership card in the name of his father, who had died in 2007 of motor neurone disease. It gave Mark Burgess, a former rugby league player and coach in the north of England, a posthumous honour at the club where his son will do exactly what he told his father he would before his death: play in the NRL. - Thanks, Mary, Kris C
