Australian Don cuts a fine figure as the Greek Andonis

The big man, called Andonis, could be Greek in anything but looks. Not that that counts against him but with his blue eyes, fair hair and broad, craggy face it is easier to imagine him in a kilt than a foustanella. But Ballarat resident Mr McCartney will be quick to break into Greek song, like his favourite Xipna Manoli ( Wake up, Manoli).
