Chris Mainwearing (1965-2007)

Chris Mainwearing was a very popular Aussie rules football player for the West Coast Eagles and sadly he passed away yesterday. The circumstances of his death were tragic and there is conjecture that drugs were involved.


He won 2 premierships with the Eaglesin 1992 and 1994, and was a regular top player for the club. He was popular amongst the club, team mates and adored by the public. He was one of those blond surfey boys who enjoyed the sun and would give his time to people.

It is sad that he has passed away, apparently him and his wife were separating and he went on a alcohol and drug fuelled bender over the weekend. This year has not been good for the Eagles and Mainy's death will be the low-light. I hope and pray the lads fromt he west coast pay attention to what happened here and get back to playing football and living a good life.

He was only 41 and this is a sad day for footy fans.
