Robert “Throck” Morton – Aug 18, 1938 – January 18, 2023
Bob was born and raised in the Beach along with his brothers Doug and Al. Like many of us he worked his way to the Club and began playing rugby in 1957. Back then we were called the Balmy Beach Rugger Club. In 1960, 1963 and 1965 Bob toured England, Northern Ireland and Wales and St Louis USA with The Beach. He played rugby for us from 1957 to 1974; the last 3 or 4 years playing as an Antique. He played as a forward all of his career but secretly wanted to be a back. He was called a lot of names while at the Beach, but his friends will remember him as Throck. He is survived by his wife Joan and two sons. Up The Beach

Welcome to 2023, I hope you have a great holiday surrounded with love, laughter and loved ones.
