Who? Think you are confusing a sports club with a hobby mate.This happened in the VFL back in 1965 at Melbourne Football Club with perhaps the greatest coach of all in Norm Smith.
They had just won the 1964 premiership, and were sitting at 8 wins and no losses in 1965.
They suffered a big loss to St Kilda ..... and he was then sacked! Only to be re-instated a few days later.
But this was the end of Melbourne as a power club. They never recovered and missed the finals. And did not return to the finals for another 23 years!!!!!
