When the going gets tough,the tough gets going.

Great guy, I was lucky enough to be allowed in the rooms as a kid when he was playing, and without fail he'd always come over and say hi and give me a pat on the head. Had the duffle coat with Number 1 on the back and his badge on the front.
A terrific guy, always had time for his fans and sadly missed.
RIP Trevor.

He was what kept me going and watching the Saints during the 1970's he had his heart and soul with the Saints(Strength Through Loyalty)and during those years we didn't win to many, but just waiting for Trevor to take a speccy,which he took quiet a few was the highlight of many games.
It was the likes of players like Trevor that made me proud to be a Saint,every home game at Etihad I always stop and say hello to Jack Barker and his wife Evelyn, to me the spirit of Trevor is there with us at all our games.

As a relative newcomer to the Saints family I would like to also visit Trevor Barkers grave and pay my respects, but sadly I don't know where it is. I love to chat and say hello to Jack and Mrs Barker at our home games, and feel very humble when He says to me "Get 'em revved up mate" My respect and sympathy goes out to them at this time.
St Kilda forever ( God help me)

Correct. I remember the day well. Unfortunately, it happened on the same day of the Port Arthur Massacre.Pwoit wrote:Address ?Ralphy wrote:do yourselves a favour and go visit his grave ....
Pretty sure we played the bulldogs at the time of his death when they released his pigeons out at Waverley. We play the bullies again this week

Definitely was the same day as the massacre, was the second game I ever went to, Buckets kicked 8 and we won by 26 points.
