Some lions have aluminium grips instead of claws

At primary school in the 1930's I was called the Falafel Kid

 

[shakergt]

Any more clues.

 

[Gilly47]

I played first grade rugby in Sydney at the age of 15

Keith Windon?

 

[DrDuck]

I'm not sure if anyone knew what a falafel was in the 1930's, but pretty sure it was Sir Nicholas Michael Shehadie.

 

[Gilly47]

Dr Duck,, you MIND reader,, CORRECT

 

[DrDuck]

He was an interesting and accomplished bloke.

I'm pretty sure Sydney would be better off with a Lord Mayor like him instead of Clover Moore!

I'm on the road early in the morning,but will be back with a question tomorrow evening.

 

[Frostoss]

Mmmmm. Falafel! :rainbow:

 

[DrDuck]

Sorry for the delay. Just to keep it moving, here is an easy one.

I shared more than one connection with Sir Nick, the subject of Gilly47's last question.

If no one gets it, more clues will come...

 

[shakergt]

Not his wife Marie Bashir

 

[DrDuck]

I told you it was an easy one - both held political office and were Australian born of Lebanese extraction. Good get and over to you...
