Raymond "Ray" Slocum (16 August 1936 – 14 November 2013)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Football
[edit | edit source]Recruited locally, Slocum developed into a wingman after being used initially as a rover and at half forward.
On 6 July 1963, he was the 20th man for the young and inexperienced Fitzroy team that comprehensively and unexpectedly defeated Geelong, 9.13 (67) to 3.13 (31) in the 1963 Miracle Match.
Coach
[edit | edit source]After retiring he became coach of the Fitzroy reserves and filled in as senior coach for a match against Hawthorn in the 1968 VFL season. He would later coach Eltham and steered them to the 1972 Diamond Valley Football League premiership.
