About Bob Lindner

Bob Lindner is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s and 1990s, and coached in the 1990s. An Australia national and Queensland State of Origin representative forward, he is one of a handful of players to be named man-of-the-match in State of Origin football more than once. Fifteen years after his retirement from football in Australia, he had made the most appearances and scored the most tries of any forward in State of Origin history. Lindner won his only BRL premiership in 1986 as the Seagulls defeated Past Brothers 14–6 in the Grand Final at Lang Park. After 28 games over two seasons for the Eels in which they failed to play finals football, Lindner signed with newly created expansion team, the Gold Coast Giants for the 1989 NSWRL season. In 2000, Lindner was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his contribution to Australia's international standing in rugby league.
