BIOGRAPHY
Basil played across the centre-line during his time with Richmond. He played his junior football at the famous St.Pat’s College, Ballarat, before returning to play with his local country team Warracknabeal. He joined Richmond in 1961 and the following season was involved in an incident that nearly resulted in Geelong’s Alistair Lord missing out on the “Brownlow Medal”. The umpire became confused and reported Alistair for striking Basil when it was actually Alistair’s identical twin brother Stewart who was the culprit. The matter was sorted out and Alistair went on to win the medal convincingly. Basil spent three seasons with Richmond before playing briefly with Dandenong. Work commitments eventually forced him to retire and he now runs his own party hire business and lives in Frankston.
