Post: # 610976Post SENsei »

There are death notices in today's paper for a Jeff Fehring 21.4.1956 - 25.07.2008.

Notices don't mention it, but is this the St Kilda player Jeff Fehring?

Someone has updated his wiki page.

Sad news.

Can I ask, why hasn't this been reported in the AFL press?

Thought the same thing.

Should be a notice from St Kilda FC also.

That's why I questioned it, as I at least thought there'd be something on here as well.

Which perhaps be why is not getting much press coverage.....as the press tends to avoid this.

My prayers and thoughts are with his family.
I get so sad to see people in so much pain that they take their own life.

Very Sad.

He actually got reported just before that kick. Took it out on the ball.
Most incredible kick it have ever witnessed.

Always sad to lose a Saint; always terrible to hear of someone passing that way.


Kick it long, Jeff!

Kick it right across the sky!

:cry: Vale and condolences to the family.


They will not grow old, as those from more northern States grow old.
For them it will always be three-quarter-time, with the scores level
and the wind advantage in the final term.

Jeff's goal is right up there with my strongest memories ofa moment ata football game.


As soon as he kicked it everyone at the ground sensed it was a mammoth kick.

It seemed to me that the whole crowd went quiet...and the ball seemed to fly in slow motion.

Jezza was at full forward...he had led out...and you cood just see him go geeze it is going to go over me as it locked up in awe as it sawed passed him to land and bounce through for goal...at which moment the whole crowd around me in the outer all lept off the ground and roared.

I was there that day too, standing behind the goals with the cheer squad.

My condolences to his family and friends very sad to hear.

I trust we will be wearing black arm bands on Sunday?
