I noticed that Bill Curtis, one of the last 4 or 5 players from the1955 premiership team, passed away last week.
Condolances to his family.
Sad news indeed.
Nothing heard from the club as yet.
I saw a game back in the WACA days (the 50s). The ground was totally flooded. Billy Curtis picked up the ball backward of centre, he ran through the middle and hoisted a mighty punt that got picked up by the wind and landed just short of the goal line and it’s momentum helped to float it through for a goal. No kidding.
Surely there is another old timer who can confirm it.
Have heard that story over many years.
Different time and space.
Slowly losing these great old timers.
Did he not live close to The oval at Lathlain?
