GEELONG legend Bob Davis has died, aged 82.
Davis, who has been ill in recent months, was admitted to hospital on the weekend and died suddenly on Monday night.
He played 189 games with the Cats from 1948-58, including the 1951-52 premierships, and was club captain from 1955-58.
He then coached the Cats from 1960-65, taking them to the 1963 premiership.
Davis was recruited to Geelong from Clunes, having twice been knocked back by South Melbourne in an attempt to play in the VFL.
His friends knew him as “Woofa” but during his playing days his great pace led to a nickname of the Geelong Flier after the train that travelled from Melbourne to Geelong.
