In his position as goalkeeper, Willis started 15 games for Roar in the 05/06 season, making 51 saves and recording 6 cleansheets. He represented Australia at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship.
Helen Willis (néeDouglas) (portrayed by Roxie Roker, except for her first appearance in All in the Family, when she was portrayed by Kim Hamilton) is Louise's best friend and George's worst nightmare. She has been married to Tom Willis for 34 years. Tom is white, and Helen is black, which was a renowned aspect of the show. George, disliking racially mixed-marriages, constantly called both Helen and Tom "zebra" or "chocolate and vanilla". Helen often strikes back by calling him "shorty." As well, George enjoys calling Tom "honky", but he learned to get along with the two in later years during the sitcom. In the fourth season, Helen works with Louise as volunteers at a service facility called "The Help Center", which opened in 1977. There is also a mention that she and Louise were the editors of the center's newsletter, a post the two decide to share after the drama of episode 67. Helen and Tom have two children: Jennifer "Jenny" Willis (Berlinda Tolbert) and Allan Willis (Jay Hammer)/and Andrew Rubin.
Tom Willis (born 20 April 1979 in Dunedin, New Zealand) is a former New Zealand international rugby union player who played in the hooker position.
Playing career
New Zealand
Willis made his provincial debut for Otago in 1999 and his Super Rugby debut for the Highlanders the following year, but found playing time difficult to come by in the same sides as incumbent All Black hooker Anton Oliver and fellow rising star Andrew Hore.
Injury to Oliver saw Willis finally see a starting role for the Highlanders in the 2002 Super 12 season, and he impressed enough that he was starting Tri Nations games for the All Blacks following the campaign. However, with Oliver back healthy Willis again found himself on the reserve bench for both the 2003 Super Rugby and NPC seasons. Despite a lack of playing time, he still managed to show his substantial ability in limited minutes - in the 2003 NPC he scored 5 tries despite making only 2 starts in 9 total appearances.
Following the 2003 provincial season, Willis transferred to Waikato and the Chiefs in a bid to get more consistent playing time. However, shortly thereafter he suffered complications following a back injury, which forced him out of rugby for over a year.
"When we have to win, somehow we do. When we played Newcastle away and Melbourne away, we had to win to keep us in contention and we got the result both times."
"The wins against Melbourne away and Newcastle away were games we had to win to keep us in contention and we got the result. The same happened last week (in Perth) - we had to win and we got the result. When we know it's our last chance, we tend to play a lot better."
"When I first saw him swing, I knew he had this potential. He's definitely got the best swing of any junior golfer I've ever seen. His fundamentals are perfect as far as I can tell."
"Tanner is a good kid. He does well in school, he's polite and he practices hard every day. He plays in a lot of tournaments on his own and does well in those."
"Both the region and state tournaments are at Trinity. They're beating us by 10 strokes, but if our guys play well, maybe we can clip them."
