Mervyn Glue Courtesy NZ HeraldMervyn Glue (right), son of a builder, always lived within the avenues of central Christchurch, and operated his legal practice from a garden shed in the back of his Avon Loop property.

He’s rubbed shoulders with the rascals of the Christchurch criminal world, and as a thespian worked with Ngio Marsh and other luminaries of the theatre. A Christchurch identity (nickname ‘Sticky’), Mervyn Glue looks back over his long career.
