Fonda Metassa

Fonda Metassa (died 26 May 2018[2]) was an Australian professional rugby league footballer.

Known as "the Golden Greek", he played in the Brisbane Rugby League premiership for Fortitude Valley and Norths, and in the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the 1960s.

He became a part of Brisbane Rugby League folklore when, in a 1968 reserve grade match for Norths against Souths at Lang Park, he burst from the back of an ambulance to return to the field after being carted off injured.

The following season he played in Norths' Brisbane Rugby League grand final loss to Brothers.

In 2008, Metassa was named on the wing of an all-time greatest Norths Devils team.
