Mrs Riley's boy played for the Saints!!

Post: # 663481Post loris »

Story in todays Australian about Emily Beatrice Riley who at 112 years of age is Australia's oldest person....there is a photo of her blowing out the candles of her birthday cake with her son Cliff (81 years). The article goes on to say that Cliff played football for St.Kilda in 1951-52.

I started going to footy matches at the Junction Oval watching the Saints in 1953...so I missed out on seeing him play :( :wink:

Happy Birthday Mrs Riley :P :lol: :P :lol:

I just looked him up loris...

He played 16 games and kicked 8 goals

He wore #23 in 1951 and #31 in 1952


Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
