RIP Woosha Welsh

[IDGAF]

Can`t believe it

Was wondering what the Black armbands were for and they just said on the Foxtel coverage that he passed away last night .

No more details

Very sad day

 

[Infamy]

The black armbands are for Lindsay Thompson

Rip woosha you played a great 1980 grand final .

 

[1980GFVideo]

Played more games at Hawthorn than Richmond, I was suprised to see.

Only played forty odd games for us but being part of success means you get remembered. Back then though they didnt give forty-fifty games away as easiliy as they do now.

I have fond memories of him as part of that successful side and was suprised to see he only racked up forty games as my memories are pretty vivid for a relatively short time at the club.

Yeah ... only 40 odd game surprises me as well ... would have sworn he played more than that

Was a great administrator as well

a true Richmond man in the end

Was one of my fave players in 1980. Was a bit of a cult figure. Sad sad news indeed.

Does anyone know cause of death?

RIP woosh.

Was one of myfavourites from the 1980 GF.
Every club that wins a flag has a success story of someone who sneaks in gets under everyone's guard. Woosher was ours.
RIP.

Guys, I only just heard about this this morning on SEN and KB was talking about his funeral.

I'm very sad at this passing as had met the great man and found him to be a ripper bloke in the mould of VFL players of years gone by, even a premiership player no less!

I'm grateful to hear that you have already worn armbands for Woosha and had've I known that last week I would've put my house on the Tiges to do it for Woosha and beat Essendon.

Sympathies to his family and to the Richmond family on this sad occassion.

RIP Woosha... condolences to his family and friends.
