The oldest man to ever Coach and preside over our Club or any other Club for that matter. Coached for the first 40 years in Black & White. Recently turned 90. Probably the most passionate person this writer has ever met. I wish I was 18 again and Denis was a girl! Must go down as one of the most resilient and strong willed individuals going around and above most things in life to see DK after a victorious Grand Final is a time and sight to behold as he deservedly savours the moment. Enjoys the diplomatic side of the job as much as Colonial Gaddafi but enjoys tremendous respect especially with the young guys of the club (that's anybody under Lou Belli's age). Has been at the forefront of many great battles in a multitude of roles over 15 years and if I can only get them to pull down the Bridge at San Remo then Philip Island will become to the 'little general' Denis, what Saint Helena became to Napoleon!
