Best to legendary St Kilda FC trainer and Moorabbin Boxing Club mentor Ken Whiffen as he battles poor health. A finer man you won't meet.

Was still boxing 12 months ago. Alas he is very unwell and there can be no miracle here.
An absolute legend around the club.

I was fortunate to have known Ken for many years. It would be impossible to find a finer clubman and gentleman. If you wish to see the largest gathering of past and present players and officials of the St.Kilda Football Club in its history it will be at his funeral. That's how admired he was. We use our great motto for many reasons but never has a time been so fitting.

Ken Whiffen. Fortius Quo Fidelius

P.S. He had a left rip that brought tears to the toughest of footballers.

[SemperFidelis]

Vale Ken. Fortius quo fidelius. Never truer, Tony74.

Very nice and timely tribute to a lengendary Saints' man from Daniel Cherny at the Age.

Luke Holmsby reported that his family said he has had over 250 past and present players and staff and officials to visit over recent days and fielded phone calls from Plugger, spida, Nicky W Rod O

How many of us will have the honour of being able to say personal farewells to so many, with apparently a clear mind.

Even as he passes he is an example of dignity
