Sad news about a club favourite.

The WOW Brisbane Broncos’ club has been saddened by the passing of former administrator Kev Keliher.

Keliher, who passed away aged 62 at the weekend after a brave battle with illness, was the club’s foundation media manager and the Broncos’ official statistician for almost 20 years.

A staunch supporter of the club from the time of its entrance into the then New South Wales Rugby League competition in 1988, Keliher was a part of every home game the Broncos played for nearly two decades.

“Kev was one of our first full-time employees at the Broncos and then afterwards spent a long time in a part-time role with the club,†said Broncos’ chief executive Bruno Cullen.

“He was a madly passionate fan of the Broncos, and of rugby league in general, and served the game he loved well.

“We wish his family our deepest condolences and assure them that in the passing of Kev Keliher, the club has lost one of its greatest supporters.â€Â

A service will be held for Keliher on Thursday afternoon at St Bridget’s, church at Red Hill, which overlooks the Broncos home ground of Suncorp Stadium.

I had the privilege of working with him while I was helping the Broncos with their web site. He was meticulous with maintaining his stats on Broncos results, players, try scorers etc throughout every season. He loved the press box food too. Hehe.

Lovely bloke, he'll be sorely missed.
