VALE LAURIE PRICE | 1930–2026

It is with great sadness that Oak Park Football Club acknowledges the passing of Life Member Laurie Price, who passed away on Thursday, October 15th, aged 96.

Laurie was a true clubman whose contribution to the Oakers spanned generations, giving countless hours of his time to the club and the community he loved.

With both of his sons playing for Oak Park, Laurie's involvement went well beyond being a proud football parent.

He coached our Under 9s in 1970 and 1971, regularly drove kids to and from games, marked out the ground each week and even pulled on the white coat to goal umpire.

Laurie was Team Manager of our 1983 premiership side and served as Club Secretary in 1983/84. His contribution extended beyond football, with Laurie also involved in cricket as a team manager and scorer.

And in true community club spirit, Laurie was even known to host the bar back at home!

It's people like Laurie who helped build the foundations of the Oak Park Football Club we know and love today.

On behalf of everyone at Oak Park Football Club, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Laurie's sons, John and Andrew, the family and friends and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Thank you, Laurie. Your contribution to our club will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Laurie.

A huge shoutout to Francis Winifred for their fantastic support of Oak Park this season!
Without the generosity of businesses like theirs, we wouldn't be able to hit the ground running each week. We are so proud to partner with you. 🔵⚪️
