Dick Reynolds played and/or coached the Essendon Football Club (the Bombers) in the Australian Rules Football competition - then known as the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1930's, 40's & 50's.

With 3 Brownlow medals, 7 Essendon FC best & fairest awards and 4 premierships, he is properly remembered as one of the greatest players of all time - some would say the best.

He was skilful, fair and courageous. He had the respect of team mates, opponents and umpires alike. He was idolised by the public, not just Essendon supporters at a time when Australia was in the post depression era and facing war time.

Off the field he was humble, understated and a gentleman.

This is his story. Trust it motivates others to read of his exploits and talents in more detail. He played along side John Coleman & Bill Hutchison who are also giants of the game and worth researching.

Thanks for listening.

Until the next episode ....... that's stumps, thank you ball boys, thank you Hawkeye.
