1963

Michael Patrick Thomas Lynagh, (born 25 October 1963) is an Australian former rugby union player who played mainly as a fly-half.

1977

Terrace won the GPS premiership five years straight from 1977 to 1981 with Lynagh playing in the final 3 years and was captain in his last year.

Lynagh also played First XI Cricket from Year 9 to Year 12 and was captain in his final year.

During his studies at Queensland University, Lynagh worked as a boarding master at Nudgee College Brisbane together with another union player Michael O'Connor who at that time made the decision to opt for the League game.

1979

Lynagh attended St. Joseph's College, Gregory Terrace in Brisbane and played fly-half in the school's first XV from Year 10 to Year 12 (1979–1981).

After school he played first grade for University of Queensland and represented Queensland from 1982 to 1995.

Lynagh was a member of Queensland's Super 6 and Super 10-winning sides.

1984

Lynagh represented Australia from 1984 to 1995, playing at both inside centre and fly half.

Lynagh was a member of the 1984 Grand Slam-winning team and was vice-captain when Australia won the 1991 World Cup.

Until Marty Roebuck took over the kicking duties, he scored in every test he played in, including a try against Wales in 1984 when he was temporarily relieved of kicking responsibilities.

On 9 June 1984, at the age of 20, Lynagh made his debut for Australia against Fiji in Suva.

Early in his career he played at inside centre as Mark Ella was the fly-half; when Ella retired after the 1984 Grand Slam, Lynagh took over as fly-half.

1991

In 1991, he joined Italian club Benetton Treviso.

He played for five years with the club and won the Italian championship at 1991–92 season.

Lynagh's arrival at the club was the first major signing after Nigel Wray took control of the club and he acted as a beacon to attract other players and fans alike.

Lynagh helped Saracens to have their most successful season to date.

A month later he was on hand to steer Saracens to their famous Tetley's Bitter Cup 48–18 victory over Wasps at Twickenham, bringing the curtain down on a season to remember.
