News Vale Ken Tierney

[raptalia]

Four time Premiership player Ken Tierney passed away last Sunday.

I lived alongside Tosser for several years and and he was a good neighbour as well as a Port Premiership player.

It seems every time I pick up the paper these days someone who made the PAFC great has left us.

My favourite memory of Ken Tierney was in a game at Adelaide oval against West Torrens when Lindsay Head was trying to be a bit too fancy on the member's wing and Ken came from behind him and took the ball out of Head's hand.

RIP

Tosser was probably the first Port player I ever saw close up. As kids we jumped the fence at Alberton and somehow managed to sit inside the fence for around a quarter. It all came to an end when Tosser almost cleaned one of our number up chasing a ball across the line. The Boundary Ump beckoned to officials and said "better get these bloody kids out of here".
