Neil Roberts, Vietnam Veteran & footy player, and 1958 Brownlow Medalist, will attend the Sydney and Vietnam Swans reunion at the MCG on 25 July 2010
The Vietnam Swans have just heard from Stan Middleton (former footy player during the War in 1967-68). He will come to the Swannies reunion at the MCG on 25 July – which will be held during the Sydney Swans pre match function for their own past players and officials. – with a glittering cast. His email is reproduced below.
I have organized and booked for 9 people to attend past Players & Officials function of which 8 have booked seats in the area reserved. The other is a timekeeper at the game so has to leave the function early. Either that or he will delay the start of the game!
Those attending are:
- Neil Roberts (1958 Brownlow Medalist) Vietnam Swimsafe
- John Kilpatrick (Ex St Kilda Player, long time Hawthorn trainer) Vietnam Swimsafe
