Zorzi was recruited from Fitzroy U19s and played 18 senior VFL matches with Fitzroy between 1957-60 – alongside Lions Legend Kevin Murray.

He was the 738^th player to represent the Club in a senior VFL/AFL match and wore the #28 guernsey.

Following his playing days, Zorzi remained actively involved with the Club’s Past Players & Officials Association and up until last year could be found regularly cheering on Fitzroy’s VAFA side at the Brunswick Street Oval.

He passed away, aged 88, last Friday and will be laid to rest at a public service in Doncaster this Thursday 5 February.  

The Club extends its deepest condolences to Zorzi’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
