Brian Gleeson

Post: # 1186408Post Born in Moorabbin »

Can anyone tell me if this champion from the late 50s is still living?? I saw a notice in The Canberra Times that a Brian Gleeson, aged 84, passed away on New Years Eve, and the service was to be at Mordialloc. Don't know if it is the same person.

I've always wondered, is he any relation to the Age sports journo Michael Gleeson?

My dear old Dad (93yo) still says to this day that Brian was the greatest natural talent he ever saw pull on a RW&B gurnsey, and what a tragedy it was when he blew out his knee
