Seeing that Jason Bevan, from South Adelaide, who played 2 games for Collingwood in 1996 died last year at age 39 was a surprise. Confirmed by CollingwoodForever, but no article on the website, as far as I can see. Father of 3.

I'm gonna call them anyway see what they say.
Rodgers believes about 15 years ago they finally identified him - he *thinks* through a football record shoutout.

We may want to flag this one with a question mark - making sure that the William Edwards details are correct

Yes this appears to be the William Edwards who played for Richmond. You can add to the list
