Passing of football greats

By KATH GANNAWAY

FOOTBALL in the Yarra Valley has lost two of its greats this week with the death on Monday of former Healesville player Tom Ayres and former Yarra Junction player Tony Foo.
Both were true greats of the game with Tom playing for the Bloods in the 1940s and 50s and a Life Member of Healesville Football/Netball Club.
Tony played for Yarra Junction in the early to mid-80s and was a champion football broadcaster on local radio.
A service will be held for Tom at the Healesville Football Club at 2pm on Monday 8 February.
Details for the service for Tony will be updated on aflyarraranges.com.au.
The Mail extends our condolences to both Tom and Tony’s families.
