IN what roll did Keith Webb work at the VFL? i had him as the sec at the VFA and NFL?
Click to expand...

Was elevated to Life Membership of VFL in early March 1975. A check of The Age during 1960s and 1970s suggests that his time as VFL Chairman of Selectors, and about 10 years as a Director on the board representing Fitzroy are probably the reasons he was awarded the honour.
