Peter Frilingos

Peter Frilingos (1944-2004) was a sports journalist and commentator, best known for his work as a rugby league writer. He was affectionately known as "Chippy" because of his Greek background.

Peter was also a member of the Continuous Call Team on radio station 2GB and a regular on Foxtel's 'Main Game'. He died at work from a heart attack, aged 59. [ [http://rl1908.com/Rugby-League-News/chippy.htm Peter Frilingos ] ]

His wife was Maureen and his children are Matt, Anna and Alison. Matt Frilingos is also a journalist.
