The players, coaches and staff of the Norwood Football Club are saddened by the passing of Lee Blake.

He was surrounded by his family and friends last night after being able to acknowledge the boys win over the Magpies.

Lee was a person known to all at the club as someone who demonstrated so many qualities not only as a footballer but as an individual who had faced many challenges. The thoughts of everyone at the club go out to his family at this sad time.
