The Latrobe Valley Express (16 October 2014) recently carried the news regarding the passing of former Yallourn footballer Geoff Taber. Geoff played at Yallourn FC after the war and is one of twenty-eight players' names that are listed on the 1948 ‘souvenir’ premiership flag. It is believed that Geoff was a ruck man for Yallourn in those days.
Geoff was later cleared to Moe Football Club where he gave long and loyal service as a committee member.

I have vivid memories of Joe.
I have vivid memories of Joe. We started at YTS together in 1959. During Form 1 we were in the same Class together. Joe was a delightful school mate, he was always happy and cheerful and a really great person. I remember when he died, I was really shocked to hear that he had passed away at such a young age.
