Myrtleford Alpine Saints Football Netball Club is deeply saddened by the passing of Ken ‘Kanga’ Johnston, a dedicated Saint and lifelong stalwart of our club.
Ken played 92 senior games for the Saints and went on to serve the club as Secretary from 1969-1974 and Treasurer from 1975-1988. His contribution to the MFNC spanned more than 60 years, earning him a well-deserved place in the MFNC Hall of Fame.
Ken’s commitment extended beyond our club, serving on the Ovens & Murray Football League Board and being awarded O&M Life Membership in 1992. He was also a recipient of the Victorian Country Football League Service Medal in recognition of his outstanding contribution to country football.
We extend our deepest condolences to Ken’s wife Margaret, his children Julie, Vicky, Wayne and Shelley, and all of Ken’s loved ones.
As our senior boys take the field in the preliminary final this weekend, we reckon there’ll be a close eye on the clock from above. Here’s hoping when that final siren sounds, it’s the Saints in front.
Rest in Peace, Kanga ❤️🤍🖤
