About Albert Arapeta Asher
Ngati Pukenga / Ngati Pikiao: Arapeta Paurini (Albert) Asher was born on 3 December 1879 at Tauranga. Being a child prodigy he is said to have played for Tauranga sub-union against Auckland when only 13 years old. When he was 17, in 1897, he was invited to Auckland to play for the Parnell Football Club. Debuting for Auckland the next season, he scored two tries against Hawkes Bay. In 1902 he scored in every game for Auckland and was selected for New Zealand in 1903. His nicknames were 'India Rubber Man' and 'Opai'. Albert Asher played in all 10 matches for the 1903 All Blacks in Australia, and in nine of them scored a total of 17 tries.
