Vale Geoff Case

[Vagg 2,437]

Sad news that four times premiership player, and member of our 150 Heroes, Geoff Case has passed away.  

Here's hoping the boys do him proud tonight!

One of our greats....

I vaguely remember him as ?HBF back in the glory days. 

I presume he had retired shortly before you started Barrie.

Enjoyed watching him play often.  Yes SWYL, one of our greats.

Mono, I believe Case retired in Vagg's first year -- 1962.  So, presumably may have played together for a few games, although not really sure...

If only some of today’s players could have the same credentials 

RIP Demon

Does anyone on here know why he retired so young at 26

Lured to the country on big £’s?

Steady as a rock on the half back flank. Mr Relliability. Came to Melbourne via the thirds with Ron Barassi, and Bluey Adams. Donny Williams too I think. Bob Johnson as well?

RIP Geoff.

Played in a variety of positions. However, if you were able to be a regular in those great premiership teams in the late 50s early 60s, it meant you were a damn good player. 

Owned or managed a news agency in Malvern Road, East Malvern in the 1960s.

Nope, not the buck:  some chronic leg injury...

What a shame. We could have snagged a couple more with the help of Geoff

he was a gun

My Dad was a big fan of Geoff’s
