For Ian Roberts, the most terrifying moment at his Sydney primary school in the 1970s, was having to stand up and read.
"I remember this truly sickly feeling," the former representative rugby league footballer tells RN's Sunday Extra.
He says that although he was "100 per cent with numbers", when it came to reading and spelling, he "fell through the gaps of the education system".
