84 years a RFC member - Harold Coutts
« on: March 09, 2007, 12:23:50 PM »
Sorry I don't know his name nor his age but a bloke watching training today has been a member of the RFC for 84 years  :gobdrop  :thumbsup  :clapping

He'll be on the news tonight (Ch 9 I think are doing the story). He's made a pact with himself that he's not going to die until he sees another premiership. He would have seen 8 flags at least and possibly all 10 if he's old enough as he would've joined up in 1923. The media interviewed Wallace afterwards and Plough said we better get a move on then lol.

Tigers just wild about Harold . . .
richmondfc.com.au

Tigerland paid homage today to 94-year-old Harold Coutts, who has been a Richmond Football Club member for an incredible 84 consecutive years!

Harold, the longest-standing member in the Club’s history, made the trip from his home in Tecoma to Punt Road, along with wife, Joan, to see how much the place has changed over the years and to watch the Tigers train.

He was delighted to have a face-to-face chat with star forward Matthew Richardson.....
