Chris Gray

Chris’ family have a long and proud history with football in Fawkner, having grown up with Mutton Reserve as his back yard. Chris, the oldest of 3, is lacing up again in 2020, for his 28th comeback to date, second only to John Farnham in total number of retirements/comebacks. Well done Chris. Chris will add reassurance down back, and a wise calm head, having first broken into senior football, with Fawkner Park at just 16. Chris and his brothers also joined committee this year, taking the next steps, to ensure the next generation of Gray’s (Chris’ son Zac) can continue the family tradition for many years to come.
