RIP, Doc Reid

Such sad news.

RIP Dr Reid

Sad news.
He made a great contribution to the soul of the EFC.

He also made a significant contribution to the medical profession. When he started sports medicine was a hobby, it is now a sub-specialty. He was a pioneer who made sports medicine more widely available. Now not only can elite athletes access the best care but also the average weekend sportsperson.

Thanks Bruce.
RIP.

Vale Bruce Reid

Above everything else 2020 has offered up, it has taken some very wonderful people from us.

I had a feeling this was coming based on this thread yesterday and also the announcement… but I also thought he had some more time to enjoy it.

Hearing news like this is $#!+.

Going back to bed.

Saw some carlton fans laughing at him today and calling him dr peptides on Facebook. Makes me lose faith in humanity. Fkn went off at them.

Rip Bruce reid you were the heart of the footy club and everyone loved you.

Do they know that Reid was cleared of any wrong doing.

What flogs

Facebook? There’s your problem straight away! It’s a vile place to venture.

As pointed out in an earlier post, charges were dropped, not correct to say he was cleared .
Don’t hold your breath for Andrew Dillon to clarify this however.
