The Avoca Football Netball Club is deeply saddened by the passing of one of our former club legends in Brian Coghlan.
Our condolences to his loving wife Marg and to the Coghlan Family.
Brian was an incredibly talented footballer for the Avoca Bulldogs and his impressive record includes 404 goals in 11 seasons.
He won the Lexton League Goal Kicking award for Avoca in 1968, and 1969.
On five occasions he topped Avoca`s goal kicking list.
In 1976 he became the first Avoca player to win the prestigious Maffescioni Trophy, a League award then decided by votes of opposing clubs.
He twice won the Avoca Best and Fairest Player award in 1975 and 1976.
He was selected twice in the Lexton League representative side and was voted best afield in the 1972 team that played Ballarat District.
