Vale – Martyn Crook
The Committee, Players and
Members of Para Hills Knights would like to extend their deepest
condolences to the family of Martyn Crook who passed away suddenly whilst
on tour in America with the Under 17’s Australian National Side (The
Joey’s) for whom he was their Coach.
Martyn played first off at
Para Hills as a Junior; he then played in goal for the Senior Team for
three years and was the Knights Senior Coach for four seasons. Martyn also played 14 times for Australia,
8 times for South Australia and has been inducted into the FFSA Hall of
Fame.
Martyn will be sadly missed
by all who knew him personally and will be a great loss to the game.
