We asked Derek what he was upto

"I have been a member of the New South Wales Police for
the last thirteen years. I perform duties as the scene
of crime officer, fingerprinting, DNA sampling and
crime scene photography"

You didn't have the best of times at Hornets, didn't you break your leg or arm?

"Yes it was very early that I broke my leg against Sheffield. I had played a few games, against who I don't remember."

"Chris Deakin was with the Club when I was there, I'll have a dig around, see if I can find any photos"

"Good luck to the Nets for this season"

Cheers

Derek Schaefer
