Post subject: Vale #17 Kevin Grose (1954-2012) | |
|
Not too sure if many posters here remember Kevin Grose who played 30 odd games for Collingwod in 1975/6.
Very sadly he suffered a sudden heart attack and passed away yesterday while enjoing a holiday in Thailand.
May he Rest In Peace. |

Unless my memory ha gone he was number 17, arms full of tatts and a bustling, hard at it winger / flanker. Condolences to his family. |

So sad. Way too young.
He inspired my Aunty and I to get our first tattoos.
A real hard man. Him and Mick Warren were Reserves heroes of mine for years.
Tatts and hard at the ball.
In Gods care. RIP Grosey.. _________________ Firm in the belief that number 17 flag is only months away... |

I've never heard of him, but nevertheless it's extremely sad news. Condolences to his family.
I looked him up on Wikipedia, and it states that he played 32 games for the club between 1975-1977 and he kicked 10 goals during that time. Apparently he was a half-back flanker and he was from Reservoir. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Also I think known as "picture gallery"for his Tatts. A courageous and tough player. I remember watching him. I thought that he came from West Heidelberg rather than Reservoir but maybe my memory is letting me down. I'm sad to hear of his passing. _________________ Born and raised in Black and White |

Grosey started at Reservoir Old Boys in the Amateurs before moving to Collingwood where he played 32 games.
After Colingwood he Captained/Coached North Heidelberg to a Premiership in 1978 and became a Legend in the Diamond Valley Football League. _________________ ************ANTI SIG************ |

Thanks Macdaicos, North Heidelberg is part of the old suburb of West Heidelberg (before they started renaming bits Heidelberg Heights and Bellfield) and I think I confused Grose's pre and post Magpie careers. _________________ Born and raised in Black and White |
