Anyone knows what he does these days? is he still involved in footy? Does he run his own business? anyone possibly know how to get in touch with him?
Cheers

Tony these days still lives in Adelaide and runs/organises Industrial Trade Shows around Australia (Power Tools, Industrial Clothing, etc) I bump into once a year at the Melbourne's major Trade show at 'Jeff's Shed'
He a lovely bloke always willing to talk Collingwood and footy in general.

| I saw something not so long ago, but have only vague recollection. I'm pretty sure he's in Adelaide and yes still involved in footy in some way. Don't know any detail though, sorry. |

[edit] Brighton Bombers FC
Brighton FC, the winners of the 2008 southern football league club championship, are situated in Brighton. Their colours are black, white, and yellow. Their nickname is The Bombers. The playing group are a massive bunch of legends exuding much talent and skill. The A grade are coached by former Collingwood champion Tony Francis, while the B Grade is "coached" by a strange looking man that resembles a walrus. Brighton contains the highest percentage of hairdressers in the SFL. It has been said by many in the league that Brighton need find a sponsor like Brighton Cement and try some of the sponsors product and Harden up. From the top down they whinge and whine about the league but wont go back to where they belong the SAAFL.
Now that I do recall it was something along these lines. Hope it helps. |

| That link is a mess but the relevant info from it is there albeit with some mischief added to it on Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure you will find Tony Francis by contacting the Brighton FC in Adelaide. Cheers. |

Tony has been coaching around Adelaide for a few years. Good to see him with the SFL league! Go the COCKLE DIVERS! (Port Noarlunga Football Club, in the same league)

LOL, only good thing about the wineflies is there Jumper!
Port Noarlunga got the name "Cockle Divers" from having to collect the cockles (pippies for us Melbourne folk) fromthe oval before each game, until they built up the banks around the ground to protect it from the tides of the Onkaparinga river.
The club's song has a line sonething like, "If you want to know where we are, you'll find us at the bar!" Now I am not sure if that means the sandbar, or the club's bar, which is mighty fine!
