Tragedy has again befallen on our Manly Community.
With great sadness, MWRLFC have been advised that George McTaggart (player #168) has passed away.
George was a Local Junior from Collaroy and played at Centre and Wing between 1960–70, debuting in First Grade in 1965. George played in both Reserve Grade Grand Finals in 1968 and 1969, winning the latter as Captain.
MWRLFC would like to pass on our condolences to George’s family and friends.
