DD Offline Platinum Member Posts: 9120 Thank you received: 1464	Sad to hear. Was a colourful coach back in the golden era of the WAFL. Coached your 1975 Premiership winning team I believe which was the first GF I attended as a kid. I think he coached WA as well, probably in 1976. Originally from Victoria or SA? Get on your bike. It was Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. POTUS #45 & #47

Graham Campbell was a very good rover for Fitzroy, DD, playing 151 games between 1956 and 1964.
He actually coached Fitzroy to victory over North Melbourne in the 1978 Night Series Grand Final, with the Kangaroos kicking 2 goals in the first 3-4 minutes before the Lions booted the remaining 13 of the night to win by 76 points.
Remarkably, North was top of the VFL ladder at the time and the Royboys were on the bottom.
Graham did coach Glenelg in the SANFL in 1983 and 1984, after his second stint in charge of West Perth.
Commiserations to Graham's family.

Senior Seagull Offline Platinum Member Posts: 5447 Thank you received: 872	Campbell was a players coach super positive and supportive, the WP players completely bought into his methods and were so successful in that massive 1975 Gf drubbing of a very good SF team. Commiserations to his family and to the WPFC.
