Australian Cricket Great Alan Davidson passed away on the weekend at the age of 92.

Those early members of ATFCA will remember that during the early days of the Association, while Alan was the chairman of the Rothmans National Sports Foundation. He was instrumental in setting up the funding for ATFCA through the foundation, that played a pivotal role in ATFCA becoming (in that period) perhaps the leading sports coaches’ organisation in Australia and one of the leading sports coaches’ organisations in the world.

On behalf of the Vic Tas Branch of ATFCA, I wish to thank Alan for his valuable contribution to our association.

Heartfelt condolences to Alan’s family. He is sadly missed.

John Crane
