While deep-dive researching this arvo, came across the news I wasn't aware of, that tennis champ Will Coghlan passed away in 2023. He famously coached Pat Cash. Also coached hundreds of junior racketeers, including myself. Very fond memories of those days. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Co...

The End of an Era. #RIP Don Hyde, the last living TV football caller of the 1960s. When we found the 'lost' 1964 Ch9 Grand Final he was thrilled to relive his call opposite Tony Charlton. Went on to call on 3UZ, the VFA on Ch0, ABC, 3DB, 3XY, 6PR. Had a brilliant voice.
