Peter “Barney” Allen, one of Heathfield Aldgate United’s great players, has sadly passed away at just 66. Never without a smile, Barney was an extremely popular and dedicated clubman. As a tough “no nonsense” defender, his record is quite incredible from the amazing HAU era, making him one of the club’s most decorated as a member of the following Premierships:
1971 Senior Colts
1972 A Grade,
1973 A Grade
1974 A Grade
1975 A Grade
1976 A Grade
1977 A Grade

The Lofty Legends Group and the Mt Lofty District Football Club, offer our sincere condolences to Barney’s mother, Roma, children Adam and Megan and son in law Ben, Grandchildren Jae, Savannah and Abbey, brothers Barry and Greg, sisters Lynette and Judy and their families.
Barney will be very sadly missed by so many people, but his contribution to the team and the club will never be forgotten.
