Sydney AFL - SportingPulse
Deep sadness has fallen on Bensons Lane and the entire Hawkesbury district this week, as Peter Shipley, the 'every man' of our fine club, lost his lengthy battle with lung cancer, and later pneumonia on Monday morning.
Peter was surrounded by his immediate family in Mt Druitt hospital and passed away peacefully at 0730.
One of the truly great men of footy taken far too soon.
The Nor-West Football Club is blessed that he was a Jet and the entire Sydney AFL community is lucky he was a football man - we are all poorer for his passing.
RIP Pete Shipley - the club will never be the same again.
My sincerest thoughts go out to Jenny, Damo, Domma and the whole Shipley family.
