David Hill

David Hill became the president of the North Sydney Bears in 1988 and quickly turned the club into a powerhouse and a premiership-condender. Hill also secured a rare major sponsorship for the club via CitiBank. 

"Prior to his rise to prominence in business circles, Hill was variously a hardware shop assistant, a sandwich cutter, a labourer on building sites, a refuse collector and gardener; he sold tennis coaching courses, worked as a barman, waiter, pub bouncer, delivery agent, tutor at the University of Sydney, journalist, investment bank worker, an accountant, and was in charge of the NSW Government Ministerial Advisory Unit" - Wikipedia.

At other times, he also ran Sydney Water, Football Australia and the ABC.

Hill, a former North Sydney Bears junior, was also a strong advocate against Winfield sponsoring rugby league, including his tenure as boss of the Bears.
