I have a connection to Des and i feel that he should remembered here as a St Kilda player
From his memoirs
When I was eighteen years old I started playing footy for the 3rd Eighteen St Kilda City at the Peanut Farm. There was no clubhouse then so we used to use the garage at the back of a shop in Barkly St as a change room. It was a butchers shop and was owned by the president of club. I played there for two years and then joined the St Kilda Football Club at Junction Oval where I played for five years. I made lots of good friends there and we used to knock around together always in St Kilda because there was so much to do. We had some very wild times.
