Husband of Maud FURLONG and loving father of little Betty (deceased)
THE death of Harold Furlong has removed a former prominent Ballarat footballer. A returned soldier, he suffered consequences of service, chiefly from gassing, and his stamina was surprising when he played for a number of seasons with Golden Point after the war. A capable and dashing back man, he was noted for the way he cleared the goal and made some great runs with the ball. He was also a useful follower.
