VALE TERRY CALLAN

Old Xav who became a Cat

June 12, 2025

It is with great sadness that we learned this week of the passing of Old Xavs star of the late 1950s, Terry Callan.

After leaving Xavier, Terry played at Geelong Amateurs and the Old Xaverians before attracting the attention of scouts at the Geelong Football Club. He made his League debut in 1960, and the following season, established himself as a regular and played for Victoria.

In 1963, Terry played 17 games but missed the Cats' premiership after undergoing knee surgery.

Callan returned in 1964 but played three more VFL games before taking on prominent off-field roles with the Cats.

Our condolences are with his family and numerous friends.

Requiescat in Pace.
