Does anyone recognize these two cousins who are pictured from the 1973 Under 15 premiership? (And both have a lot more hair in the picture’s than they do now)
Both are local boys who still live in the area today. 42 years later.
The player on the left is from a long list of family members to play for the club.
His Grandfather played for Avoca, as did his father who was a 1953 premiership player, and his Uncle’s and brother’s played for Avoca, so did his son’s and he now has a Grandson playing at junior level.
The player on the right also played in the 1980 & 81 premiership teams, he has coached at senior and junior level, has served on the committee and is also a Life Member.
He also has a long family connection with the club, his brother and sister’s all played for Avoca, as did his wife and daughter, and son’s, with one of his son’s still playing today.
Both of the above players have joined the OLD DOGS CLUB.
