Former Bombers, Kangaroos great Barry Davis dies, aged 80 - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1135645

Sad news to come out yesterday but Barry Davis passed away Wednesday.

2 time premiership player

3 time Best and Fairest

Club Captain 1970 and 1971

Voted 15th Champion of Essendon

Half Back Flank in our TOC

Coach of the club for 3 seasons

Runner up in the 1969 Brownlow by 1 vote. (Robbed according to my Grandfather)

Also won the North B&F, captained their first flag and made it on the pine in their TOC.

A thoroughly gifted football man and as red and black as they come. Had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times and he always had plenty of stories to tell.

Vale to an Essendon (and North) champion.
