Former player Matt King, who once worked as a garbage collector and barman, has been named the new coach of the NSW Blues. The shaven-headed former winger replaces Laurie Daley, who stepped down after winning this year's State of Origin shield. raccoongame.org

King admits he has not always had the confidence that he could be a head coach, despite his playing career that included winning rugby league's highest honours.
