Frank Costa has died at the age of 83.

HUGE in the history of the Geelong Football Club. A very sad day.

RIP. Vale. Frank Costa. Go Cats.

So sad. The partner of an old colleague of mine used to run a restaurant at Aireys Inlet. Frank and Shirley were regulars and would always leave huge tips, and were apparently the nicest customers you could imagine.

Of course, his contribution to our on field success from 2007 onwards was as significant as anyone else.

Vale Frank.

Vale Frank.

Frank contributed so much to our community, people in Geelong and our amazing football club.

 

[kickazz]

Strong, humble, leadership.

On the one hand he didn't feel the need to constantly be on the TV blowing his own trumpet, on the other was a man who in another life was strong enough to stand up to organised crime.

A great model for leadership - has there been a better pairing in the AFL than Cook and Costa?

We a lot of joy from the last couple of decades to this man's vision, leadership and hard work.

RIP Frank.

 

[Spazz Cat]

That's very sad. I appreciate not only the contribution to our club but his huge contribution to the town and the business world.

Quite simply, if it wasn't for Frank and Brian Cook, the team we all know and love would've most likely gone the way of Fitzroy 20 years ago.

Thank you for everything you have done for the club, and the community as a whole.

Condolences to the Costa family.

RIP Frank.

Just heard the news shocked and saddened The Geelong Football club probably wouldn’t exist today without him. His lasting smile after the 2007 premiership is how i’ll remember him.

In deep with the fans. Gotta love it.

 

[Baudolino]

Really sad news. A Geelong icon who brought our club success. So much of what we've experienced over the past couple of days is down to him.

RIP.

R.I.P Frank
You will always be a legend to the Club and the Community.
A gentleman through and through.
Very sad loss

This sad news really puts things into perspective. Sure we are all disappointed with what happened against the Swans, but the club lives on and Frank is a big reason as to why that's even possible. Rest in Peace to a man etched in the very fabric of our great club.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Not only one of the best club presidents the Cat's has ever had (if not the best), but he was a stalwart of the Geelong community in general and did a lot for the people and the city he loved. Not to mention the times he helped the GFC financially over the years. RIP Frank Costa.
