Biography
Wauchope winger came to Souths as a 19-year-old from South Lismore in 1972 before moving to Manly. Mooney, who was a prolific try-scorer with both clubs, was the season's leading try-scorer in 1976 (16t, equal with Bob Fulton) and 1979 (19t). Excitable and easily provoked during his younger years, Mooney won premierships with the Sea Eagles in 1976 and 1978 and was Manly's sole try-scorer in the 11-all draw with Cronulla in the 1978 grand final.

He was also a great school teacher, he taught me at Lewisham Public School, I had him 2 years in a row and I loved him. He was such a great all round man, I have such great memories of him as my teacher

Recall an opposing winger when commenting on Tom's defensive positioning commented that once after a game against him when he went home and opened his front door he was half expecting Tom to be there to stop him entering.
