    Terrible news, condolences to his family and friends.

    As Greystache pointed out, I hope us winning the flag this year gave him a very enjoyable moment.

    Re: Harvey Stevens has passed away

    I'll say it. It's a bloody shame his grandsons did what they did to him and I'll say no more. Legend of the club and hero of our first premiership. RIP Harvey and thanks for your contribution to the Footscray Football Club.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Harvey Stevens, Western Bulldogs 1954 premiership hero passes away, aged 86





    THE Bulldogs have lost one of their 1954 premiership heroes Harvey Stevens, who died yesterday, aged 86.

    Stevens was Footscray’s ruckman in the club’s first premiership success 62 years ago, and his passing leaves only seven members of the side still alive.

    He was also the grandfather of Adelaide’s Daniel Talia, and Sydney’s Michael Talia.

    Stevens expressed his disappointment at his old club when they accused Michael of passing on sensitive information to his brother in the lead-up to the elimination final against the Crows in 2015. Talia was subsequently traded to the Swans.

    Stevens started his VFL career with Collingwood, playing 54 games from 1948 to 1952, playing in the club’s losing Grand Final in his final year at the club.

    But he was controversially dumped by the Magpies ahead of the 1953 season, and picked up by Footscray, where his father had played.

    He went on to win the best-and-fairest in his first year there and would play 72 games for the Bulldogs between 1953 and 1957.

    After his 14th game, Stevens earned high praise from future Australian football Hall of Fame legend Jack Dyer.

    “He’s one of the best ruckmen recruits I’ve seen come into the game,” he said.

    “Young Stevens is a good one. He reminds me a lot of Phonse Kyne on the field. He’s got a lot of good football in him.”
