It is with heavy hearts that the Pennant Hills Demons share the sad news of the passing of Tim Nunan, a much-loved teammate and friend to many.
The North Adelaide Football Club reported Tim was living and working in Tokyo, Japan and suffered a stroke late last week and unfortunately couldn't recover. He was surrounded by family during his last few hours earlier on Monday morning. Tim was a tenacious young man with an ability to bring other players into the game with his in-and-under style of play. He played at North Adelaide FC through the junior ranks and debuted in 1991 playing 165 games between 1991-98 kicking 82 goals. In his last season he helped South Australia to a 45-point win over Western Australia at Football Park. Tim was a dual club best and fairest winner.
Tim came to Pennant Hills Demons at the start of season 1999 and played 88 first grade games from 1999 – 2004. He was the club’s Best & Fairest in 2002 and 2003 and was twice runner-up 2000 and 2001.
Tim was a key member of the Club’s first Senior grade premiership team in 2000 Some of the sentiment expressed by Tim’s former Pennant Hills team-mates include:
He was a champion on and off the field
Success followed him everywhere, both on-field and off
A courageous footballer and great fella
Devastated to lose our great mate Noodle
A great football player and person, gone way too soon
Noodle was always an inspiring player as he was one of the toughest players going around.
