Another Saint gone too soon. Toiled away week in, week out. R.I.P


Give me one flag & I'll go to my grave a happy man.

Looked like a hipster many years before it was fashionable.
Played an intercept run and carry game many years before it was fashionable - Kenny Sheldon a decade before Kenny Sheldon.

A champ.
Great to watch.

A now gone many years before his time.
A sad day for all Sainters.


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Great player. Met him in a business capacity in Hobart over 20 years ago when he owned some paint stores, genuinely nice guy. Gone too young at 64. RIP.

It's Saints related news, not the 6pm bulletin. They have paid a timely tribute within 2 days of his death with skeleton staff on reduced hours, for all we know, some members of his family may not have known.
