Background:
Tim is from a famous Sherwood family started playing football at Sherwood soon after he could walk and has been Black and White through and through ever since.
Tim has played over 150 Senior matches for the Western Magpies and won the club's Best and Fairest Award, the Bill Peirce Medal, in 2007 as well as winning several other club awards, including the much prized BG Award for Most Courageous player in 2008 and 2012 in honour of his best friend Brett Gwyther, who lost a short battle with cancer in 2007.
He was Vice-Captain of the First grade team for several years and has been in the leadership group for most of his playing career. He has played in three premierships for the Magpies-- 2006, 2008 and 2012.
Tim has been an inspirational player for the club throughout his career and has always showed enormous courage with his attack on the football but also to play with injuries and show young players in the club what loyalty and determination are all about. Not only that he is simply a good bloke which football clubs need to build a good club culture.
He also served as Treasurer on the club's Board for 2 years in 2011-12.
His family have been an institution at the Magpies, with his father Michael also a long serving club stalwart, serving as club President for many years and is also a Life Member and his mother Julie also served as the club's Treasurer and Board member for many years. His brother Sean has also been a long serving Sherwood junior then Western Magpies player and is the club's current Reserve grade captain. His sister Jessica has been a great club supporter and has organised several womens' functions for the club and is married to another long serving player in Reid Dobson --what you have is a great Sherwood/Western Magpies family!
Tim acknowledged the support of his family and his wife Sophia to allow him to play football and contribute to the club he loves. Tim is a very deserved Life Member for his contribution to the club both on and off the field.
