Apologies if I have any facts wrong, or I've confused two people, hopefully I don't offend anyone on here who is friend or family. I was just trying to find info on an ex-player (as I randomly do) from the early 80s, Gary Walpole, originally from Fish Creek. He wore #42, and kicked the winning goal in his first game against Melb in 82. A close mate who is a Melb supporter and I have talked about the final minutes of that game for years - we used to go together to our games twice every year for about 10 years. Anyway, someone else told me that Gary had died at the age of 49 in SA in 2003, and there's certainly reports on the Net about someone of that name. Does anyone know if that is the same Gary Walpole that played for Footscray?
