Vale Eric Freeman

[Grav]

Forgive me for posting, but growing up in rural Sth Australia Eric Freeman was one of my boyhood idols.

“Freeman played Australian rules football during the winter months, and represented Port Adelaide in 116 matches in the SANFL.

He won an SANFL premiership in 1965, was awarded the Ken Farmer Medal in 1966 and was the leading goal-kicker during the 1967 season with 81 goals.”

Thanks for that - we have this thread on our main board paying tribute to Fritzy.

RIP Fritzy

Bloody sad news indeed. I met Fritzy in the early 70’s when he came to our school and talked all things cricket and Port.
