Many thanks for sharing that with us, Cardy.

Based on the Eastern Seaboard these days, I am unable to keep track of the passing of the WAFL's greats of yesteryear, and it's always sad to hear about them.

Ozfooty readers may be interested in reading about the careers of a couple of those mentioned, Ken Caporn(Claremont) and Bob Howat(West Perth). Both are well worth a look at, with Howat revisiting one of WA sports most controversial events, Rocket Racer's Perth Cup, as well as one of our best full backs.

Look out for them in Memory Lane.

Reading that, good to see some long lives. Then Krakour sticks out way to young at 47, then the one that is an absolute tragedy - Michael Mascoulis.
