R.I.P. John Wilson

Postby FOURTH ESTATE » Sun Feb 27, 2011 6:47 pm

Received a text message from a highly respected member of the SAAFL that late this afternoon that former Chairman of the League, Life Member & Port District great John Wilson passed away this afternoon after a long illness.

One of the greats of the league. Condolences to his family and the Port District Football Club
2017, 2019 & 2020 PREMIERS
RICHMOND, RICHMOND, RICHMOND.


Let that be a lesson to you Sturt. You don't beat Glenelg 3 times in a row in Grand Finals and get away with it.

John was in every respect, a true gentleman who put the SAAFL and Port District Football Club before many other important things. He will be remembered by his many friends for his contribution to the game, well played John,your suffering is now over.
Sincere condolences to his family on this sad occasion from the Gepps Cross Football Club
