Vale Scott William Pywell

12 May 21

The club is deeply saddened by the loss of one of our most loveable characters. Scotty played 150 games with West including one A grade game. Last game played was in 1992, Premiership player U18 in 1978, Coached U 11 in 1986 to 1989 and U13 in 1990 Coached Reserves team in 2019 to Prelim Final, reappointed for 2020 and 2021 (prior to illness) Was on the Senior Social Committee in 1983, 84, and 85. He was an avid Sunday cricketer as well. Scotty was a keen member of several golf clubs and if you were lucky enough to be in his group would entertain you with tales tall & true all the way round and after. Scotty was heavily involved with Yarrambat junior FC supporting his family(life member in 2008) Scotty was involved with Bundoora FC for 9 years before coming back home to West. Scotty was loved by everyone fortunate enough to meet him and had time for everyone. Buzzy would hold court every night with a tale or yarn about his days events. One of the greats who will be sadly missed. I can only imagine the conversation at the Pearly Gates, Hey St Peter you wouldn’t believe what just happened as he Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Deepest Sympathy to his family & friends. Rest In Peace Mate
