Ray Sorrell

Ray Sorrell

Ray Sorrell is a former Australian rules footballer who played with East Fremantle and South Fremantle in the WANFL.

A centreman, Sorrell achieved many accolades during his time at East Fremantle. He was a dual Sandover Medal winner, finishing equal first with Neville Beard in 1961 and then winning the award outright in 1963. The 1961 medal was given to Beard on countback but Sorrell was awarded it retrospectively in the 1990s when the league decided to reward those who had lost in a similar fashion. He was also a dual Simpson Medalist, winning both in 1962, one for being best on ground in the Grand Final that year and the other for performance against Tasmania in their interstate match. In total he represented the West Australians at interstate football on 18 occasions during his career and was named in two All-Australian teams, in 1958 and 1961.

Sorrell joined South Fremantle as captain-coach in 1964 and spent two seasons with them before returning to East Fremantle where he finished his 177 game WANFL career.

In 2007 he was named in the centre in the Fremantle Team of Legends.
