Tony ‘Giggsy’ McGarrigle has been awarded for his outstanding contribution to the Noble Park Football Club, becoming one of the new Life Members of the club.
McGarrigle has been a long-time servant of the football club and is highly respected by everyone associated with the Bulls.
The club stalwart was honoured by his achievement, citing the club’s culture and ability to produce quality footballers as one of a kind.
“It’s a great club to be a part of.
“I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy some great success at this club.
“I look at the people who have got life memberships before me and to now be one of them, it’s a great honour.
I always wanted to win a best and fairest here and it takes one good year to do that but it takes a lot of good years to win this so I am really honoured,” McGarrigle said.
Club legend Stewart Kemperman was also rewarded with life membership at the football club after a distinguished playing career at the Bulls.
There were a number of other playing awards given on the night, while perpetual awards for outstanding contributions to the club were also given out.
U19 premiership coach Jamie Barnett was awarded a certificate of congratulations from the City of Greater Dandenong by Cr Roz Blades, while Mick Moyle won the Kevin Meade (Players’ Appreciation Award) and David Allan won the President’s Award for his outstanding service to the football club.
