President Greg Boulton said Allan Scott would always be held in the highest esteem at Alberton, where the club’s headquarters bear his name.
“Allan Scott was and always will be a hero of the Port Adelaide Football Club – it’s that simple,” Boulton said.
“Nobody has supported this club the way Allan did throughout what was a wonderful life.
“The fact Port Adelaide grew from a suburban footy club into an ultimately successful one on the national stage was largely thanks to Allan Scott.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Allan’s family and friends at this difficult time.”
Joint Club Patron and a Life Member of the Port Adelaide Football Club, Allan Scott has been actively involved since the early 90’s and as a supporter throughout his life.
As the largest financial contributor in the club’s history, Allan Scott’s generous donation facilitated construction of the Allan Scott Power Headquarters – the state of the art training and administration centre at Alberton Oval.
In addition Allan Scott’s tremendously successful business, Scott’s Transport, was the Power’s joint major sponsor from 1997-2007
In 2008 his generosity extended to the next generation of Port Adelaide’s finest through the establishment of the Allan Scott Player Development Academy.
“Allan’s legacy is forever captured in the history of our football club while it is simultaneously aligned with its future,” Greg Boulton said.
“We will all miss him dearly but never forget what he has done for our football club.”
