Billy Moore's Biography
Sporting legend and business entrepreneur Billy Moore is best known as a Rugby League Legend, playing 211 NRL games for North Sydney and 17 appearances for QLD in State of Origin. His name is synonymous with the passionate “Queenslander, Queenslander” call.
A former Queenslander Billy Moore became a part of State of Origin folklore in 1995 when he was caught on camera yelling 'Queenslander! Queenslander!' to motivate an underdog Maroons team on their way out of the tunnel in Game 1 of 1995 at the Sydney Football Stadium. This catchphrase has since become a ‘Call to Arms!' for all proud Queenslanders.
Previously Billy had played in 211games over 10 seasons for the North Sydney Bears reserve grade premiership side before becoming a regular selection for the Maroons from 1992-1997.
During his career, Billy Moore played a total of three caps for Australia, including being a part of the 1995 Rugby League World Cup winning side in England, 17 caps for Queensland in State of Origin and 211 games for North Sydney Bears in National Rugby League.

After retiring from the game in 1999 at the age of 28, Billy made an extremely successful move into the hospitality industry. Billy is a small business entrepreneur and he's actively owned or run restaurants and hotels since 2001
A larger than life personality, Billy Moore is a popular speaker in both the sporting and business worlds. Billy says that tackling every day challenges has made him who he is and audiences respond extremely well to the stories of his life and the lessons he has learnt.
