It is with much sadness that we were informed of the passing away of Errol Reid due to a long battle with cancer. Errol played for Easterns from 1991 to 1999 just falling short of getting his green costume. A story related by one of his team mates: An opposition player punched Errol. He calmly grabbed the player by his neck and sunk to the bottom of the pool. Errol’s ability to stay under water for lengthy periods was well known. After about a minute and half Errol let the poor fella surface. Blue faced the fella barely swam to the side, got pulled out and that’s where he lay for the next hour. Errol’s comment: He wasn’t worth getting cross over.

RIP Errol
