After Simon Beaumont kicked a rare running goal - when he wasn’t snap hooking his kick, in the lower back rows of the George Harris Stand - they’d put up a “Beauy” graphic, followed by a steam train.

I’m interested to know more about the man himself....

I know he was our #1 ticket holder for a long time, Dad of ex-Prez Graham and a squillionaire, but what was he like? Anyone ever have any dealings with him or heard any stories? I wonder why he never served on our board?

May he RIP.

It made the vfl park scoreboard look state of the art. Yet somehow you could make out what happened when showing replays

David and Graham are first cousins.

Their second cousin Norman married my third cousin.

That’s all I got. :donk:
