A few years back there was a thread about Ron McCarthy from the 54 premiership team, and I think at the time there were 11 living 54 premiership players. Since then, Jack Collins has passed away.
Is anyone aware if all of the following 10 players are still with us?
Charlie Sutton (definitely still around, now 87years old)
Angus Abbey (would be 85)
Herb Henderson (pretty sure he was attending Darwin home games until last year, 81)
Doug Reynolds (would be 78)
Don Ross (would be 77)
Harvey Stevens (would be 81)
Ron Stockman (would be 77)
David Bryden (would be 84)
Jim Gallagher (would be 80)
Peter Box (pretty sure he still lives a reclusive life and refuses all contact from the club, 79 years old)
The deceased players I am sure about are:
Jack Collins
John Kerr
Alan Martin
Arthur Edwards
Roger Duffy
Ron McCarthy
John Nuttall
Brian Gilmore
Wally Donald
Ted Whitten Snr
Hopefully a few of these guys are still around when we finally win the bloody thing again, even if they will probably be too frail to get up on the dais and present the cup and/or medals…
