Grant John Turner was an association football player who represented New Zealand 42 times in A-internationals from 1980 to 1988, scoring 14 goals. A midfielder with an aggressive playing style, Turner was a no nonsense ball winner and runner who had an eye for goal. He was capable of playing in attack if called upon to do so. Turner was a member of the All Whites at the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain, where they lost all 3 group games to Scotland, USSR and Brazil, but did not play in the finals due to an injury sustained soon after arrival in Spain. [More at Wikipedia]
