Father Gerard Dowling's Great Australian Life

This week on Great Australian Lives, Craig catches up with legendary AFL footballer, Brian Beers.

A half-forward, Beers was a member of Collingwood's 1958 premiership team and kicked the first and last goals in an epic and historic grand final at the MCG. 

Once Brian had decided to retire from VFL/AFL football, tennis resumed its place in his life and he played at a high level before heading into the game’s administration.
