The sad news continues with the passing of Tom Davis
He was the first Perth player to play in two premiership teams.... 1955 & 1966. 
I remember he first played in jumper #13 but after a bad knock in the kidneys changed to #30 and played with a folded towel taped across his back for protection.
Kicked the winning goal in 1955 GF and came on as a reserve in 1966 GF and left his mark with a goal from a left foot snap.
He was the club legend a few years back.
Condolances to his family.  RIP

Sad news indeed.
I remember as a kid sitting in the changerooms next to him talking.
Gave all the kids the time of day.
One of my favourite players always a workhorse.
Rest in peace Tom and thanks.
Condolences to his family.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog.
Winning isn't everything. It's the ONLY THING !!!!!!
