Gossip from League Clubs,
(Melbourne, Vic. Monday 15 July 1946)
There is much regret at Richmond yesterday at the announcement that Eddie Ford had died as a result of a collision while playing at Katandra.
Ford who was on the 1942 and 1943 lists was settling down nicely when he found it necessary to return home.
