Bob Davis dies

Postby Mr66 » Tue May 17, 2011 11:47 am

Just heard (second hand) that the Geelong Flyer, Bob Davis has died.
Haven't found any link yet as this news is less than 2 minutes old
If one person does it, it's insanity. If millions do it, it's religion.

Good ol' Bobby. Sad news.
Seemed like he'd live forever.

Bobby's gone the great Geelong Flyer :( At least he lived to see the day to see the mighty Cats back where they belong on two occasions. RIP to a Geelong champion.

How good is this photo? One of the good things the AFL have done is get club legends to present the cup.

I used to enjoy his involvement in the channel 7 footy panel show on a Sunday morning in the late 80's and early 90's.

RIP Bob.

What a champion this man was. And what great entertainment he gave us as a commentator. We all loved him (I did anyway)

Vale, Bob Davis

RIP Bob Davis

obviously a great at geelong

he always made me laugh when he was on tv, which included 'grumpy old men' on fox footy (as it was)


little known fact....Bob coached south adelaide for just over a month, (from outside of the ground) geelong would not realease him so he ended up going back to geelong
i thought secret groups were a thing of the past, well not on websites anyway

Love the footage of Bobby with the cup, they showed it again this morning on tv. No way Tom Harley was ever going to get his hands on it! :lol:

Used to love his work on weekend footy shows as a kid.
