We are deeply saddened at the sudden passing of Dave Ravenhill on July 20, 2020 from a heart attack. Dave was 57. From teaching at Reynolds Secondary School for over 30 years to coaching and playing the game he loved, Dave changed the lives of so many. He dedicated his life to promoting soccer and became an integral part of the sport in Victoria. While soccer was an enormous part of David’s life, he was also deeply respected for his work as a teacher. 

The following reports are a tribute to an incredible man, so loved by his family and the community:
