Bill McGrath came from near Horsham and had a reputation as a centre half back. He was a tough country footballer who decided to go home. South lost many promising players in this way during the 50's and 60's. He was a farmer but later became the State MP and served in that position for many years.

He still lives down Horsham way. Chatted with him a couple of years ago on a train from Melbourne to Ballarat after a game. Was a State Liberal Party member during the 80's. Was the Minister for Police & Emergency Services for a time.
 
Well there's only one reason why I'm bumping this and it isn't for a great cause...

Vale Bill McGrath. Passed away last night (Wednesday 22nd August).

I might be wrong but i thought he died recently
Just ten years early - he had a good knock at 81 years of age.
