Ian Rigg Collection Updates

Last week I visited former player/committeeman/President Ian Rigg, after he had recently met up with Tony Morgan. Ian has kindly supplied me with some materials to add to the archives on this website.


 

They include a missing Matchday from 1983 v Geelong. I've also added an issue of Bulletin Board from 1977 (No.2) to the Library page.

Added to the team photo galleries are:

 

The following team photos need a bit more identification for labeling:



Seniors 1978 (has 1978 written on it but we already have 1978 team photos in a different kit so it may be 1979)

Guesses so far, please get in touch if you have answers:

Back: Peter Fairbanks?, Mark Watling, Keith Watling, Steve Thomas, Tony Wynton, ???, ???

Front: Donovan De Cerff?, John Bris, Colman Kelly, Steve Gregory, Claude Senese, John Tsagadouris



Reserves June 1978, according to note in pencil on the back of the card containing the photo.

Back: ???, ???, John Hamill?, ???, Ross Bauer, Ron Sharp, Paul Mara?

Front: Tony Morgan, Sam Castellano, Graham Wormell, John Parton, ???, Steve Novak?, ???



Reserves 1980 with a question mark in pencil on the back of the card.

Back: Paul Tierney, ???, ???, ???, Sam Castellano, Trevor Bishop, George Patterson?

Front: Paul Mara, ???, Dudley Winters, ???, ???, ???, Tony Morgan.


The following have been added to the Memorabilia page:








The following photos will soon be added to the appropriate galleries, once date and names have been checked by views on here:


1977 - John Forbes, Tam McPake, Robbie Robertson and Ian Rigg




1982 Thirds Award Winners. Back - Gerd Weiss?, Ross Bauer? Front - Peter Crawford, Ian Rigg



Albury Trip - Danny Morgan, Dave O'Gara, Peter Crawford, Mick O'Neill, Tony Morgan, John Forbes?, John Bris





This Presentation Night ticket doesn't have a year with the date, am guessing late 1970's.


Once again thanks Ian, and Tony. Please share the link around, and let anyone you catch up with know not to throw anything away until giving me a chance to look through it.

Vale Trevor Bishop 1947-2024

Trevor Bishop, a great player and truly the nicest bloke you could hope to meet, passed away late last year after enduring the terrible motor neurone disease (MND) for a number of years. He will be remembered for his blistering shooting strength, and his booming laugh. He played in every senior team at Moorabbin City, from the firsts to the reserves and thirds and even the fourths. He was denied the 1982 Metropolitan League Division Four Best and Fairest award on countback after tying with North Geelong's Drago Krajina in the days when the V.S.F. wouldn't issue multiple medals as they do now.  Living opposite Bailey Reserve, he was often helping out around the club in ways other than scoring goals on the park.  A true gentleman with a cheerful disposition that made everyone enjoy being in his company. It is a blessing to have known him. Click on images to enlarge. Click on video to play
