I have some students researching the history of Marryatville Primary School. They found a book with a foreword by former principal F.D. (Denis) Errey. Is he the same F.D. Errey who is a life member for the Port Adelaide Football Club and a commentator in the 70s? Does anyone know if he is still around, or better yet, is contactable?

One and the same. I was selling school books back in the early 80's and met him. Really nice bloke.
Don't know how to get in contact with him but he was working with the ABC up until "fairly" recently.

thanks LL. Another teacher today told my students he had passed on, but I think he may have been pulling their collective leg. I dunno. Would appreciate any further information.

I remember hearing a few years ago he had passed on as well.

Yeah i'm fairly sure he passed on about 5 or 6 years ago. I've got a vague memory he lived in Goolwa although i'm not certain of this.

Thanks guys. Surely there's a Port supporter who might know for sure?

Its Frederick Denis Errey and he died on the 28th December 2004.

Cheers for that Mark

There was a Michael (???) Errey who played for Port - mainly reserves IIRC in the 80s. I assuming a relation.

Mick came to Glenelg with Chocco to help out with the Reserves coaching duties.

Macca, Booney, MP, GWW or Fatal can you confirm???

I reckon I had a footy budget poster of Michael Errey stuck up in my bedroom. This was back in the days when I'd stick up ALL posters regardless of team, I was too young to discriminate. Had a poster of Blighty too. And Bob Beecroft. Darned if I can remember who else.

No, but I did have a copy of Samantha Fox Strip Poker on the old Commodore 64
