North Fremantle Football Club has been left reeling by the sudden death of club legend and former WAFL player Scott Misich.

The club confirmed Misich’s death on their Facebook page on Wednesday, describing him as a “champion clubman, a selfless and loving man who made an impact everywhere he went” in an emotional post.

Misich played more than 200 games for the iconic Fremantle club, between stints at East Fremantle and Claremont, after joining in the early 1990s.

North Fremantle’s post featured a long list of accolades, including best and fairest medals, premiership triumphs, as well as his years of dedication behind the scenes as a coach.

He also became a life member in 2006, just three years after leading North Fremantle to an A-Grade flag as the best on ground player despite having been knocked out in the third term of the decider.

The post went on to reveal Scott was a “key part of the Misich Dynasty” like his brother Tully, and they were both named in the 90’s Decade All-Star Team.

“Scott had a long and fruitful playing career with a highlight in 2003, where he was an integral player in the A Grade Premiership winning team,” the post reminisced.

“For those of you who have heard him remind everyone about his performance that day, his evangelical recollection of his exploits bring a smile to one and all.

“After being knocked out in the 3rd qtr after a late bump, some ensuing commotion in the stands, Scott returned to the field and continued his dominant performance for which he was awarded the B.J Giles Medal for Best on Ground.

“A true clubman, Scott has regularly been seen running water for the Colts or singing a song in the Club’s hall. He’s a big personality and will be missed.”

As a coach, Misich won a flag with North Fremantle’s Colts before leading the league team to two A-Grade Grand Finals.
