Ray Slocum

Raymond "Ray" Slocum (16 August 1936 – 14 November 2013)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Recruited locally, Slocum developed into a wingman after being used initially as a rover and at half forward.

On 6 July 1963, he was the 20th man for the young and inexperienced Fitzroy team that comprehensively and unexpectedly defeated Geelong, 9.13 (67) to 3.13 (31) in the 1963 Miracle Match.

He would later coach Eltham and steered them to the 1972 Diamond Valley Football League premiership.
