## Resource

Bob Tate is one of Sydney’s best known publicans - you name it, he’s seen it. In the 1990s Tate owned and ran the Clovelly Hotel, deep in the heart of Sydney’s eastern suburbs.  Rugby league, union, cricket, AFL and surf lifesaving stars would flock there - making it one of the best known sporting pubs in the country. Jockeys, trainers and bookmakers would also frequent the establishment. In this episode of Chiming In, Tate shares countless yarns about the sports men and women who often walked a fine line with a belly full of beer. The Sydney Morning Herald’s Roy Masters once described the pub as the headquarters of the NRL where all the big deals were done. Tate’s recollection of the thrills and spills at the famous pub are enlightening and entertaining.
