The RIP List

[SAFCDownUnder]

The tragic death of Aussie cricketer Phil Hughes, and the recent passing of Iain Hesford got me wondering about which SAFC players from my time watching the Lads have passed away (ie from mid-60s). I'm sure I've missed a few since I've been in Australia, but off the top of my head I could only remember:

Iain Hesford
Mel Holden
Jim Baxter
Ian Porterfield
Tim Carter
Tim Gilbert

 

[Nathan Gunn]

Len Shackleton

 

[cluckluc2]

Rob Hindmarch

 

[bunnyrabbit]

Mick Buckley
Jim Holton.

Len Shackleton

Bit before my time, but I played football with his son over here in Perth for a couple of years.

Mick Buckley
Jim Holton.

Ah yes, I remember Buckley going but didn't realise 6 foot 2 was dead.

Not a player but Viv Busby.
