The Sydney Roosters have been saddened to learn of the death of Life Member and former Leagues Club and Football Club Chairman, Mr Keith Steel.
Mr Steel’s long association with the club began in 1930 with his role as an Easts Line Boy.
A foundation member of Eastern Suburbs Leagues Club, Mr Steel spent almost 20 years as a Director of Easts Leagues (from 1973-1992) and was a Director of the Football Club from 1983-92. He was Chairman of the Board of Directors across both Easts Leagues Club and the Sydney Roosters from 1990-92.
In a sad week for the club, the Sydney Roosters also mourn the death of former player Bruce ‘Larpa’ Stewart who died earlier this week.
One of the great characters of the game and a crowd favourite, Mr Stewart played for the Roosters from 1967-68, scoring 10 tries from his 24 appearances on the wing. Mr Stewart’s son Corey also played for the Roosters, beginning his career at the club in the early 1990s.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the wonderful families of Mr Steel and Mr Stewart.
