The Avoca FNC wish to pass on our condolences to Pat Martin and Family due to the passing of Max Martin on Tuesday 23rd September.
Max was a former Coach of the Avoca FNC in 1960, 61 & 62 and was the Best & Fairest Player in 1960.
He always held a very keen interest in how the Bulldogs were going and was very pleased to see his photo on our clubroom wall as a past B & F winner.
Max was a long time administrator of the MCDFNL holding the position of Secretary for 39 years. From 1968 to 2007. And was also the Secretary of the Maryborough Highland Gathering for 41 years from 1970 to 2011.
Max would have taught quite a lot of Avoca students at the Maryborough High School where he was a teacher for many years, and many would also have read his sport columns at the Maryborough Addy, where he was the Sports journalist for quite some time.
He was also known for his playing of the last post on his bugle at the Avoca Anzac and Remembrance day ceremonies and only stopped this year due to failing health.
Max was a great contributor in many different aspects to Maryborough and the wider community and will be sadly missed!
