We hope you enjoy episode #12 of our Australian Basketball History series - an in-depth interview with Peter Patterson, the driving force behind Australia's first ever masters basketball tournament, and the first ever member of Myths and Legends Australia.

 We sat down with 78-year-old Peter to talk about the inaugural Australian master's basketball tournament held in Launceston Tasmania in 1987, the players and personalities of the day.

 Peter takes us through the Myths and Legends origin story, and his recollections of how the club was founded and evolved.

 Peter is a superb storyteller, and a sensational human being.
