Darrel "Doc" Baldock Passes Away

Just read on Twitter that Darrel Baldock has passed away

"stkildafc St Kilda FC

The Club is deeply saddened by the passing of Club legend Darrel Baldock - a true champion. #gosaints "

Despite what people think of the Saints; Baldock was a champion and probably their best ever player

Still remember the fanfare when he came back to Melb in the 1980's to coach them
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

from the song "Don't Walk Away" by Pat Benatar 1988 (Wide Awake In Dreamland)

A sad day for footy. In fact a sad month losing two of the most skillful players to ever play the game. Baldock was ahead of his time and a champion.

RIP
