Mr Geoff DOBSON, Mayor for the City of Greater Shepparton had a wonderful day on Australia Day when he welcomed new Australians into our community with the Citizenship presentations at the Queens Gardens in Shepparton on a beautful warm day. An added pleasure for "Dobbo" was his enjoyment in awarding the City of Greater Shepparton Citizen of the Year to "Fitzy." As mentioned previously in this web-site, Geoff DOBSON is a past President and a Life Member of the Shepparton United Football Club and would have known Fitzy since both were lads and going to primary school. Dobbo was full or praise and admiration for Fitzy as he handed over the award. True to form, Fitzy was humbled by the award and presentation and quoted "It was a bit of a shock - I suppose I was the lucky one - I've always been fairly lucky all my life in this way. I feel my greatest achievement has been being involved in sport throughout the Goulburn Valley.
A terrific day, a terrific award, a terrific presentation, a terrific bloke. Well Done Fitzy! For Fitzy's profile, refer to the GVFL Personalties Profiles in this web-site.
