Colin Dell

This photo was pasted on the "History of the Old Lost Western Suburbs" Facebook Page.
Has to be in any "Top Ten Hangers" compilation IMO.
I remember seeing Colin play. 30 odd First games, captain of the twos at one stage.

Back flanker winger type. From memory I seem to recall another player calling him Ding Dong (Dell)

Re: Colin Dell

I see that I dudded him - 66 games from '71 - '77. I was overseas for seasons '73-'75 so did not see a lot of him. He was a solid player but 66 games in seven seasons indicates either he did not cement his place in the team or, was dogged by injury - others may know. I know he was captain of the reserves side so obviously was well thought of as a leader. Played mainly at half back.
I have a feeling he took another huge grab when he was playing in the twos and that this photo was published in the Footscray Mail.

Re: Colin Dell

He played in the FDL for West Footscray. I believe he was also nicknamed " Cedal" after a popular brand of soap.

Re: Colin Dell

Yes I remember Colin. Wasn't a regular player in the firsts...a bit in and out. A solid contributor though and a high flyer as per the pic.

Re: Colin Dell

Not sure if anyone on here knows Colin but I believe the Footscray/Western Bulldogs past players are looking to make contact with him for future reunions and the like.
