The Club is deeply saddened by the recent passing of former Fitzroy Lion Garry Sidebottom.
Sidebottom was a star with WAFL side Swan Districts and is recognised as a member of the West Australian Football Hall of Fame.
Sidebottom's VFL career began with St Kilda (54 games) then Geelong (7 games), before being recruited to the Fitzroy Lions where he played 43 Senior matches across three seasons from 1982 to 1984.
Sidebottom is the uncle of Brisbane Lions premiership player Beau McDonald and brother of fellow Fitzroy Lion, Allan.
He was very popular member of the Fitzroy team and will be missed by the Club. Our deepest condolences goes to Garry's family and friends at this difficult time.
