One of rugby league's greatest coaches Jack Gibson has died after a lengthy illness.
His family today said the five-time premiership winning coach had passed away at 8.32pm (NZ time) in Sydney after suffering from Alzheimer's disease and dementia for the past two years.
Gibson was last month named as the coach of rugby league's Team of the Century, with his passing marked tonight with a minute's silence before kickoff at the centenary test between Australia and New Zealand at the SCG.
