One of New Zealand's most versatile players of all time, Gary Prohm's 24-Test tenure included appearances at second-row, wing, centre and lock. The Ōtāhuhu Leopards product also made his mark on British and Australian club football with Hull KR and Eastern Suburbs.
The 21-year-old earned his first Kiwis call-up for the 1978 tour of Australia. He scored two tries on debut off the bench against Newcastle and played his first Test as a reserve in the series opener against Australia, before moving into the second-row for the remaining two clashes with the world champs.
Prohm was back on the bench for the historic win over Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby and finished the tour with 10 tries in 12 minor matches.
Overlooked for the series against Great Britain in 1979 after representing Auckland against the Lions, he was recalled to the Test line-up as a winger on the 1980 of Britain and France. He played in the last two Tests against Great Britain and scored tries in both clashes with France.
Prohm dotted down in the 1981 series opener at home against France and held his place on the wing for the 1982 series in Australia, before scoring a try as a centre in the one-off Test in Papua New Guinea. He reverted to the back-row for the 1983 Tests against Australia, including the drought-breaking 19-12 triumph at Lang Park.
He opted to stay in England with club side Hull KR and missed the 1984 home series against the Lions, but he was nevertheless recalled for the unforgettable 1985 rubber against Australia - playing all three Tests in the centres.
Prohm was in the centres for the first two Tests against Great Britain on the Kiwis' 1985 tour, before moving to lock for the drawn decider.
Four seasons with Hull KR garnered over 100 tries and Premiership Trophy success in the 1983-84 season. His last game for the club was bittersweet, scoring two tries in a 15-14 loss to Castleford in the 1986 Challenge Cup final.
Prohm joined Sydney club Eastern Suburbs immediately afterwards and had his international swansong two months later as New Zealand was swept 3-0 in Australia, playing lock in the first two Tests and centre in the third.
After helping the high-flying Roosters - who were captained by Kiwis teammate Hugh McGahan - to a preliminary final in 1987, the veteran returned to Auckland with Mount Albert in 1988.
Prohm later coached Auckland City Vulcans in the inaugural Lion Red Cup in 1994.
