    RIP Franco Cozzo.

    Coming from a Southern European background - My grandparents generation loved his furniture.

    The ads were classics.

    RIP ol' mate, such a Melbourne icon and huge Foot-as-cray personality.

    Black armbands round one, and a street named after him, only fitting.

    Re: Famous Bulldog supporters

    Anyone know how the Moon Dog Brewery in the old Franco Cozzo building is progressing?

    Oh and my Italian grandparents certainly did not have any furniture that resembled Franco's wares. It was an acquired taste I suspect.

    Vale Franco. Another of the icons of Footscray gone.

    Condolences to his family
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    All those years ago, jogging up Sydney Road early Saturday morning with a very Italian looking mate. Franco standing outside his store. Aldo says "Ciao, Franco" . The great man didn't reply but smiled and nodded.

    Franco Cozzo was a legend of the West. I saw him at a few Dogs games at the Western Oval in the 70s and 80s. He was always impeccably dressed and friendly.
