a beloved member of the North Melbourne football club Shane "Lidge" Lidgerwood has recently passed away. I can honestly say that he was the embodiement of the Royal Blue and white.
Shane was instrumental in keeping the Kangaroos at Arden St, from organising radio comercials spawning the infamous line "Stick the gold coast where the sun dont shine" to rallying the troops for the Roo-sistnece gig Shane was a true fighter for the cause. A pure gentleman, great family man and all-round top bloke we are poorer for having lost him.
As a mark of respect for Shane ,if you knew him or not, just before the bounce this week give a moments thought to his family and wish them well and thank Shane for the club still being here. Then cheer even louder for Lidge,I'm sure he'll be watching.
God Bless.
