On the club website today Tom Davis announced as club Legend for 2013.
Tom was a member of the 1955 premiership side - kicked the last goal of the 1955 grand final that put us in front.
Eleven years later in his last game for the club Tom kicked a goal in our 1966 grand final win.
Congratulations Tom.
Great news, one of my idols when I was whipper snapper.
Would always chat to the kids in the rooms.
An old war horse was Tom, I can remember the strapping he used to wear around his mid riff.
Hope we get to see him during the year. I think he lives down Bunbury way, not too sure on that.

Also referred to as ones corset DF?
Call it a corset Freezin, if you wish, but he wore it as a protective measure. He suffered a severe kidney injury - from memory a knee in the back in a game going for a pack mark - and from there on, in every game, he would have a folded towell taped across his back for protection.
After that injury he changed his jumper from 13 to 30 - superstitious, I guess.
Just ignore him Smokey hopefully the south island cold will freeze his lips & brain together.
Well done tom. Legend status is fitting.

After those ‘very kind words’ you had to say about Swansea freeze I hope it is on your UK itinerary!! 
Check out Tommy Davis’s story in News and Articles..
Well done Oos
Great to see Tommy & his wife in the sponsors lounge yesterday.
Hope you had a great day.
Good to see you and your wife Tom. Club Legend 2013.
Also noted at the President’s lunch a high profile business entrepeneur and passionate sports lover. Hmmm. Very interesting.
Good news Smokey, another potential sponsor maybe.
Good work Marty, heard the group were old mates.
Tony Sage!

Yep, I believe so.
That would not surprise me at all. It would appear that mining and O&G companies see Perth based footy clubs ‘quack quack’ as a good promotional base for selling projects to the public and sweetening native title deals!
The cape Lambert demons… Hmm after a couple of beers might have a ring to it! :S
