Have any deceased players been born and died in years in which a team they played for won a premiership?
Ron could give you a list of players who were born in a premiership year of a team they were to play for. It'll be quite long I should think.
Death dates for most players have not been complied and published anywhere to my knowledge.
Here is a sample (incomplete) of Geelong players who died in Geelong Premiership years to give an idea of the numbers that could be involved. (None were born in Premiership years.)
Pender Jack 22/01/1937 Parkin Harry 06/07/1937 Reed Arthur 01/04/1951 Parkin Jack 19/08/1951 Baker Jack E. 18/01/1952 Smith Sid N. 27/02/1952 McKinley Bill 19/04/1952 Knell Jack 06/08/1952 Burns Peter C. 11/10/1952 Horman George 22/11/1952 Barling Bert 03/12/1952 Arbrew Jack 31/01/1963 Greeves Edward 15/04/1963 Manson Harold 23/04/1963 Wills Jim 14/05/2007 Pike George 19/09/2007 McGlynn Mick 24/09/2007 Sellwood Joe 18/10/2007 Long Doug 09/02/2009 Brown Kevin 10/04/2009 Patman Ralph 01/05/2009 Vinar Paul 18/05/2009 Finn Joe 01/06/2009 Hetherington Max 01/06/2009 Hunter Graham 01/06/2009 Brown Clive 11/11/2009 Leahy Pat 27/11/2009 Herbert Harry 19/01/2011 Ainsworth Geoff 02/02/2011 Davis Bob 16/05/2011 Harrip Ray 01/06/2011 Fisher Reg 01/06/2011 West Roy 22/11/2011
Bolded were Premiership players themselves.
782 men who played for Geelong were born before 1956. I have death dates for 337 of them.
