doc gravely ill

ST KILDA'S only living premiership captain is gravely ill.
Darrel "Doc" Baldock, who led the Saints to their lone premiership win against Collingwood in 1966, is in a Launceston hospital after suffering a fourth stroke several weeks ago.
Former teammates Kevin "Cowboy" Neale and Ian Stewart have been in contact, but it is believed Baldock is having trouble recognising familiar faces.

I wish it was possible to preserve for posterity every single member of the 66 premiership side. Unfortunately age catches up with us all.
The 66 team has done us proud being the only ones to achieve the ultimate for the club. Time we created some more heroes.

Australia...... Live it like we stole it....... Because we did.

I was hoping a few of them were going to see something special happen in 2010. I knew we'd make the Granny, but just wasn't sure on the result. Close...but... sadly it might now be too late.
I hope they are comfortable. Thinking of them.

When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

This has been a 15 or more year battle for Doc- did he not suffer a stroke during the time he was Caoching the saints?

They ought to be sent down there to see him and look him in the eye.
