Today is the 14th anniversary of the death of St kilda's most loved son, "Trevor Barker". Still missing you,although you will always live in our heart.

Good on You Tom! Lets hope that our Beloved Saints can win that flag for Trevors Dad Jack! What a tribute THAT would be!

Loved and respected in life.
Immortalised in death.
We still love you Trevor.

Great memories of a Great man.

[Sainterman]

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.

[bobmurray]

I spoke to him a few times when i was working on the building that is now the Saints Museum.....he always seemed interested in what i was doing......

would have liked to have seen him coach the club...but....

[Ralphy]

do yourselves a favour and go visit his grave ....

+1 Me too Sainterman!
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.

You know Ralphy you continue to surprise me...in a good way.

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

RIP TB - my all time favourite player.

We certainly did and the Bulldog cheersquad paid tribute to Trevor as well.

[thejiggingsaint]

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.

Correct. I remember the day well. Unfortunately, it happened on the same day of the Port Arthur Massacre.

I'm pretty sure it was the week before, but yes around the same time. a very sad time for us Tasmanian Saints.

[dcstkfc]

RIP Barks

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.

[Saint Bev]

Port Arthur Massacre was the 28th 2 days after Trev's passing.

[TazzieSaintGirl83]

Im a little young to remember well when he played for the saints but it is plain for anyone to see what a talented and inspirational man he was. A wonderful Sainter and a geniune sad loss.

Rest peacefully

[markinUSA]

It still breaks my heart that he is gone. My first hero.

[ralphsmith]

He's before my time, but from what family tell me he was something different.

RIP champion.
