The Port Adelaide Football Club was saddened to hear of the passing of Kevin Crease early last night.

Kevin was a wonderful man who brought and meant so much to the state and people of South Australia.

Kevin was a lifelong Port Adelaide supporter and ambassador of our football club.

Kevin was also a wonderful friend and mentor to many at this club, in particular our captain Warren Tredrea and vice-captain Chad Cornes. Both are shattered by his passing.

Our sympathy goes to Kevin’s son Tom, his family, friends and all at Channel Nine.
