Legendary Australian sports journalist and sports editor Scot Palmer has died, aged 84, after a lifetime’s dedication to his craft.
The man whose catchcry Keep Punching and whose columns kept generations of readers informed and entertained for more than five decades was one of the most loved and respected footy scribes in the country.
He was also one of the first multimedia performers, using his exceptionally popular Palmer’s Punchlines column in the Sunday Press, the Sunday Sun and Sunday Herald Sun to build his profile with a side career on television with Channel 7 as well as on breakfast radio with 3UZ (now RSN).
“His ‘Palmer’s Punchlines’ segment was compulsory viewing across the years for generations of footy supporters on television, while his first love remained newspapers.
