Vale Allen Aylett

[berniemccarthy]

Great, great footballer. Shame not alot of video with him. Younger B.F.'ers would see a Champion in action.

Probably my favourite anything North Melbourne phot

Probably with the Dugdale non-mark. But that is no.1 above.

Although Sam stretched out in The Truth comes a close second.

There's the aylett room at Cazalys in Cairns. Right next to Barassis restaurant. Whoever built that place goes for the roos.

Good job old man

Regardless of opinions on club strategy, he was always an absolute gentleman to speak to.

Didn't disappear and sulk when the GC didn't happen either, stayed involved.

Fantastic role model for setting high goals and putting in your all no matter the vocation. Dentist, club champion, inaugural premiership president, league president. Iirc from his biography, quite humble beginnings.

Sad news. Thoughts with his family.

 

[The acurate one]

A North warrior, put his own money into the club to get the players under the ten year rule.
I believe he mortgaged his own home. I am glad he was around long enough to see us start to right the ship.

Never met him, but by crikey I think I loved him.
Sad day but this man left his mark on our great club.

Vale Doc

RIP Doc

RIP Doc, a legend of North Melbourne and the game. Took a lot of hits but remained focussed and positive.

 

[Gasometer]

His book sits proudly in my North row of books; a brilliant read of how he dragged the VFL into the modern era we enjoy today is testimony to the visionary he was.

Were he from one of the big clubs it would be front page news tomorrow.

Vale Allen, you have left a legacy that will last generations.

 

[Heavy B]

RIP Doc Aylett. A giant of the North Melbourne Football Club and the VFL/AFL.

Very sad to hear this news, many moons ago i had the misfortune of having a wisdom tooth pulled by him in his Moonee Ponds surgery, as a Nth supporter we got on famously, but after practically breaking my jaw in the process, it was my first and last face to face, RIP Dr Aylett.

[DarkPhoenix]

Awful news.

RIP Doc, you'll be remembered by the club and its supporters for decades to come.

The footy world is poorer without you in it.

I tried to send a twitter thread through, but it came out poor, apologies.

Also, R.I.P to a true Shinboner!

 

[Forever North]

Sad news. A true football visionary. Legend of the club and game.

 

[Agenda 21]

Forerver a Shinboner, Allen. Rest.

Forerver a Shinboner, Allen. Rest.

My late Kensington raised grandma, who was responsible for me following North from birth, had this pic framed on a wall at her place. It intrigued me and whenever she saw me staring at it she’d tell me he was the best player she ever saw represent North. With that ingrained in me I was thrilled when he took over the helm of the VFL as we seemed to play in every grand final. Twas a great decade to follow North, the 70’s, and Doc played his part in that.

Vale Doc and sincere condolences to the Rick and the Aylett family.

back in 2006, i (along with my father) met him when North played in Los Angeles (along with Ron Barassi). at the morning of the game, there was a breakfest a restaurant (which was by the way at one point a recording studio, the same place where The Doors record LA Woman) he came by my table and we talked a few minutes. one of the things he said was we won the flag in 1998. i said, no it was 1999. his look was, damn he right.

I’m quite drunk, but this photo has me in tears. And it’s not the first time I’ve seen it today. You can see the passion there. Love it.

A life to be celebrated & a love for our great club to be remembered.
