Australian rugby union international
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stephen Michael John Lidbury (born 22 May 1960) is an Australian former rugby union international.
Born in Sydney, Lidbury attended Pittwater High School.[1]
Lidbury, a powerful back-row forward, played in the Shute Shield for Warringah. He was capped twice by the Wallabies, as a number eight on the 1987 tour of Argentina, then as a flanker in a home Test against England in 1988.[1]
In October 1988, Lidbury was signed by rugby league club the Canberra Raiders on a two-year contract, but injury would prevent him an opportunity to play first-grade.[2] He suffered a near fatal broken neck in a 1989 reserves game against Penrith while packing a scrum, ending his sporting career.[3][4]
