150 GAMES – WILLIS WIRINGI
This weekend we celebrate a fantastic milestone for player number 990 as Willis runs out for his 150th game for the Swan Valley Football Club.
Known around the club as the “Candy Man” for his legendary habit of selling lollies on the field, Willis has been a much-loved character and valued teammate throughout his football journey.
Debuting for our colts in 2014, Willis worked his way through the ranks of reserves and league before spending a couple of seasons away from the club, including a year with the Bencubbin Football Club where he earned the clubs Defender of the Year award.
Thankfully for us, he traded the backline for the forward line, where he truly belongs. Since returning, he’s continued to be a reliable contributor, bringing plenty of energy, experience and a knack for making things happen inside 50.
Reaching this milestone is a tremendous achievement and a credit to his commitment to the club over many years. He becomes the 63rd player to play 150 games for us and earn Life Membership of the Swan Valley Football Club.
Congratulations Willis on 150 games, Life Membership, and everything you’ve given to the Valley.
