Vale Trevor Bishop 1947-2024

Image
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
