Don or (Louie) as the family called him was my Uncle by marriage. He was a very loving part of the family. I was only 10 when he died and I am now 61 and still a mad Tigers supporter even though I have lived in Melbourne for 40 years. I still think of him often with so much pride. He was too young and left a young family with empty hearts but he loved the game. GO TIGERS.

Donny Amos came from Newtown and was the son of “ Pop” Amos and we played chasing around the streets and access lanes, including Ken Hoveling, Pat Brown, Norm Bartlett & Ken McLean, his loss was never forgotten by those who knew him.

I had the pleasure as a young 7 & 8 year old to travel to the Balmain games with Don (Louis) Amos. He was a great man wonderful family man and was really coming along as a Rugby League prop though only young. I always speak with pride about Louis and will always remember him. His sudden death was a tragedy and a very traumatic time for the whole family.

I was lying on my bed in a Brisbane hotel room listening to this game and because of the concern coming from the commentator, can remember it like it was yesterday. It was a terrible afternoon.
