Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

Gary Considine (1962-2004)

“PARKSIDE Football Club has paid tribute to 1981 premiership

forward Garry David Considine, who died on January 11 after
a short illness. The West Footscray resident was 42.
Parkers dual premiership coach Phil O’Keeffe said Considine
and his family have been steeped in club tradition for as long
as he can remember. "You only have to look at photographs
on the wall of our clubrooms to see Garry and other members
of his family being players and administrators." Considine was
a gun full-forward and a great wart despite losing some

fingers in a work related accident.
A service was held at Our Lady's Catholic Church, Maidstone
on January 15 and later at
Memorial Park lawn cemetery, Altona North”
