Toast Turkey Tom

[The Coach]

The home page of Blueseum has a pic of Tom Carroll (our first Coleman medalist) and Soapy Vallence (our famous VFL Leading Goalkicker). The Tom Carroll story is an interesting one as he quit Carlton/VFL just before turning 24 after being our leading goalkicker for the previous 3 years

ps Tom presented the 2008 Coleman medal

Thanks for the free advertising.

Tom's story is indeed a fascinating one. We were also lucky enough to have 10 photos from his private collection donated to the site from a family member - his son I believe. The Vallence shot is a good one but there's also some action shots from his playing days.
