Kevin Norquay:
"When it comes to New Zealand sport, money breeds unhappiness"
Kevin Norquay is Stuff's Chief News Director (Sport).

He also has the distinction of once being described as a disgrace to western journalism by Winston Peters.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
