Dave

Dave Hey was the brother of Wests and Australian rugby league player, Vic Hey.

Dave was a Cabramatta and Fairfield junior who was selected in the 1926 Southern Districts President’s Cup team. He was graded with Wests in the same year playing a number of Reserve Grade games before making two First Grade appearances. His First Grade debut was in August 1926 when “Pony” Redmond withdrew from the team due to an injury.
