Bill Christie


William Ramsay Christie was an Australian rugby league player.
Christie was a Queensland [rugby league team|Queensland] representative forward in 1931 and 1932. Primarily a lock, Christie gained international representative honours during the Kangaroos' home series against the 1932 [Great Britain Lions tour|1932 Great Britain Lions], which he began as a reserve forward. He was close to playing the second Test match when Wally Prigg was a late withdrawal, but was asleep at the team hotel when the call up came. For the final fixture of the series at the SCG, Christie played lock forward for Australia in what would remain his only cap.
Leaving Queensland in 1934, Christie spent the remainder of his career in Lismore and appeared in representative matches for Country [New South Wales rugby league team|NSW Country]. He took over as coach of South Lismore in 1948.
