Very sad to hear of the passing of a WA football legend ,Percy Johnson, this morning.
Percy was a player for Old Easts, as East Fremantle were called back then. He played 180 games for Est Fremantle. Moved to Swans and played 21 games. Left Swans and moved to Claremont and played 27 there.
He also coached Swans, Souths and West Perth, with varying success.
After his playing days, Percy mixed coaching with radio and TV commentary.
He was a very astute judge of the game. Read the play very well, and it showed in his commentary.
A true legend of Aussie rules regardless of what state you come from.
Rest Peacefully Percy.
