Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
Mark Komp played for Footscray 23 games and scored 9 goals - FDFL Best & Fairest 1980
“Parkside Football Club’s star centre half-forward Mark Komp, topped off a fine season by winning
his club’s best and fairest award.
Komp picked up a weekend trip to Wrest Point Casino and $100 from the Powell Hotel for winning
award. Ruckman Rod O’Connor finished nine votes away in second place.
Komp has proved the outstanding footballer in the FDL this season, also winning the Bendigo Building
Society best-and-fairest award.
He polled 24 votes to win by three votes from Kingsville’s Glen Wingell.
Parkside players also performed well in other grades of FDFL.
Parkside’ best and fairest reserves player, Bob Rice, was beaten by two votes in the FDL award while
brilliant ruck-rover Trevor Lockwood won both the club and FDL best and fairest awards in the under
17’s.”
