Geelong is mourning the passing of former player Alan Teasdale who passed away at his home in Mildura last week at the age of 79.

‘Winkie’ Teasdale played 17 games and kicked 13 goals across three seasons between 1964 and 1966 after being recruited from South Mildura Football Club.

Teasdale debuted in Round 1, 1965 against Footscray at Kardinia Park and played his final game in the 1966 Semi Final against Essendon at the MCG in front of 93,765 people.

The club’s thoughts are with his wife Liz, and four children.
