at South Melbourne FC. Some may say he was a ‘smarter businessman than a player’ as he started the Graham Cassidy Taxi Trucks. This business was a first of its time in the eastern suburbs, which he ran with
his wife Beverley with much success.
Leo Wishart
Leo’s extraordinary 33 years active service with outstanding distinction has been acknowledged with a Life Membership and later elevated into the MFC Hall of Fame. Leo was more than a handy senior player, he was one of the great proponents of the now extinct drop kick. Even in his 40 & 50`s he loved to occasionally come down to help the boys out at training and let rip with few long raking drop kicks, a skill he was extremely proud of.But it was the man that he was, that endeared him to all at Mitcham.
A very popular man who always looked for the positives.
As a senior coach he was a passionate orator, motivating not only his players but all who heard him. Loud and clear, no in close secret whispers back then. Standing above all else was his humility and respect for others.
