Universal Love Dr Bruce Reid - Essendon Legend, Rest in Peace

[Mercurial89]

Wonder if the club can do something for him, with our jumper. Put an R or something on the jumper going forward.

Something the boys can carry onto the field with them. He has been a part of this club for so long, he should continue to be so.

RIP Doc.

I met him once at a function, I was drunk as a skunk and probably as annoying as hell, but he gave me the time of day and seemed like an absolute gentleman but also someone with a real sense of humour.

74 is too young.

My memory of him that stands out from those functions, Is Doc being as drunk as a skunk, gleefully recounting to us the story of him telling the AFL to F off.
