Nic Brown is widely considered to be among the greatest Countdowners of all time. He made his debut on 22 October 1987, beating 6-time winner Alan Steel in the 14th heat of series 14. He quickly rattled off another 7 wins to become an octochamp and #1 seed for the series. In the quarter-finals, he defeated Derek Rutter 46-35, before facing and defeating Alan Steel for a second time. In the grand-final, he crushed his opponent, Joel Salkin, 108-36- only the fourth time a century had been achieved in a 14 round game, and the biggest winning margin achieved under such a format.
Nic returned in 1989 for Championship of Champions IV, beating Stephen Deakin and Nita Marr on his way to the final against series 16 champion Tony Vick. Nic was able to hold off Tony's challenge for the duration of the game and ran out the 78-68 winner, becoming only the second person after Harvey Freeman to achieve the 'grand slam' of becoming an octochamp, winning a series and a Championship of Champions. Nic did not return for the supreme championship, and therefore maintains his unbeaten record to this day.
