Old Aussie Rules footballers just keep living
I am reminiscing on the VFL football era.
One name came to me - Bernie Quinlan - Superboot.
He started his VFL career with Footscray, (the Scrays) playing 177 games, kicking 241 goals.
He then transferred to Fitzroy (the Roys) where he played 189 games kicking 576 goals.
Showing that he got better as he aged.
He won the Brownlow Medal in 1981 (Best and Fairest) and the Coleman Medal twice, 1983/83 (most goals in a season)
I researched him and find out he is still alive, aged 73.
