RIP Mr Mago.
Sending love to Dave, Michelle & Anthony on your sad loss.
Mr Mago wasn’t just a junior coach to so many of us lucky enough to be coached by him as kids, he was an idol, a continuous smile & a unique kicking style. He was always Mr Mago, not Dave, such was the respect we all had for him.
We were all blessed to have him guide us as kids.
Warm wishes,
Glenn, Amanda, Maddy, Oakley & Charlotte Michie
