Welcome to the first edition of the Blast from the Past Podcast.
Here we delve into cracking sports stories from generations gone to help connect the current generation with the old Goulburn Valley sports stars of the past across a variety of sports.
This week’s guest is Des Campbell, a legend of Goulburn Valley League football for both Shepparton United and Tongala.
He was a star for the GVL during interleague clashes in the ‘80s and he played against some of the country’s best-ever footballers during a 50-game career for Melbourne in the VFL.
Campbell also was a player-coach for Tongala and helped the club breakthrough for a memorable premiership.
