Just announced: Neil Kerley has been killed in a car accident, aged 88.
When I was a fatherless kid, Knuckles WAS footy to me; a man's man, tough, a great player/ player-Coach/ Coach and legend of West Adelaide, indeed, SA footy.
Stories of his footy exploits and successes abound. Bloody hell, those hands, that voice!!
He was larger-than-life, bigger than any of the stories he generated; his character and will and strength will never be forgotten at West Adelaide, South Adelaide, Glenelg, West Torrens, Central Districts, SANFL & State games, not to mention his influence in the Crows' early years.
RIP Knuckles. You'll be missed, but never forgotten.
