Vale Leo Kubeil
It is with much sadness Euroa FNC acknowledge the passing of former President and player Leo Kubeil. Leo was a consistent member of the senior football team at Euroa FNC with many fondly remembering him being a ‘cranky defender’.
His talents on the field saw him win the South West Gippsland League Best and Fairest award in 1967. Many will remember Leo as an integral part of the success Euroa FNC experienced back in 1990 when he was President of our wonderful club as the senior football side claimed their most-recent Premiership.
The photo of Leo and then playing Coach Kevin Storer are etched in the memories of many – none more-so than Leo’s family, where this photo still stands in pride of place. Much of Leo’s Presidency was spent keeping ‘everything in line’ – to this end, he found himself spending a lot of time representing players at the tribunal, one particular incident sticks in many minds.
Our thoughts and best wishes are with family members at this time as they prepare for a family funeral at home.
May he Rest in Peace.
