Thanks NBP for this post. Brian was my uncle and was a complete gentleman. We celebrated his life yesterday at a very moving funeral in Albury. Representing The Footscray Football Club past players at the funeral was Allan McAsey, George Bisset, John Schultz, Owen Maddigan and of course Doug Prior. I'll miss you uncle Brian. R.I.P.

I wish to pass on my condolences also. I was at school with Terry, brother of Brian and Doug and knew the family well. It was good to see the Club represented at the funeral.Brian was a good person. You should feel very proud.
