The Fremantle Football Club, along with the wider Western Australian football community, mourns the passing of Inaugural Fremantle Dockers member and Fremantle Football Hall of Legend, Steve Marsh. 

At the age of 99, Marsh leaves behind a legacy that will forever be etched in Australian Football for his contributions to the Fremantle Football community with his 265-game career spanning across both South and East Fremantle Football Clubs in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).

Steve Marsh's career was a testament to his love for the game. A South Fremantle legend, Marsh's football journey is nothing short of extraordinary, marking him as one of the sport's true icons. His career, adorned with accolades, including being a revered Australian Football Hall of Famer, speaks volumes of the impact he had not only as a player but as a mentor and a community figure.

Marsh's influence transcended beyond his playing days, as he continued to be a stalwart supporter of WA footy, with a particular soft spot for the Fremantle Football Club. His passion for the game and his Club was infectious, inspiring generations of players and fans. Marsh's legacy at Fremantle is not just about his football prowess but about the values he represented – resilience, sportsmanship, and a deep-rooted love for the community.

Steve's contribution to the Fremantle Football Club and the broader football community was immeasurable. His wisdom, guidance, and unwavering support played a pivotal role in shaping the Club's ethos and spirit when it was introduced to the AFL 30 years ago. Marsh was not only a mentor to many but also a cherished member of the Freo family.

The Fremantle Football Club extends its deepest condolences to the Marsh family, friends, and all who were lucky enough to witness his incredible journey. Steve Marsh's legacy will forever be a part of Fremantle's story, as we continue to strive with the same passion and commitment that he exemplified throughout his life.
