On behalf of the club, Port Adelaide CEO Matthew Richardson offered his condolences to Mr. Granger’s daughter Carly and his entire family.
“It’s heartbreaking to hear of David’s passing. He had struggled with health issues recently,” he remarked.
When Port Adelaide was winning in the late 1970s and early 1980s, David was one of the game’s most gifted players.
His height was 188 centimeters, and he was a powerful, athletic modern-day player. David was incredibly gifted and played a key role in the team’s historic 1977 Grand Final triumph.
