The Avoca Football Netball Club offers our condolences to the Taggart family on the passing of our former player, Des Taggart.
Des was recruited to Avoca in 1966.
He was a fearless rover who topped the club’s goal kicking in his first season, and again the following season.
Des was selected in the Lexton League side of 1966, and received Avoca’s Most Consistent player award.
He played with Avoca from 1966 to 1970 and was a big part of Avoca’s resurgence at that time, kicking 122 goals in five seasons.
Des was highly regarded on the football field, but was also well regarded off the field. He enjoyed the social side of the club.
Our best wishes to his family members.
Des is pictured in the 1968 Senior Football Team Photograph,
