# Garry Wheeler

Garry Joseph Wheeler (18 July 1956 – 25 January 1982) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Gary played with Wodonga Football Club and won their best and award in 1981.
Gary was the younger brother of Terry Wheeler.
# Glenn Giles

Glenn Giles (born 14 November 1956) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
# Avo Viiol

Avo Viiol (sometimes also spelled as Aavo Viiol; born 5 August 1958) is a former head of Estonian Culture Fund [et] and a famous Estonian embezzler.
Between December 1999 and August 2002, Viiol, then working as head of the Estonian Culture Fund, embezzled the Fund of 8,510,910 EEK, sometimes by forging expense documents, and caused 17,868 EEK of damages through unnecessary cash advance fees. On 14 August 2002, Estonian Internal Security Service arrested Viiol after the Estonian Ministry of Culture had detected suspicious activity regarding management of the Fund's assets. On 7 January 2003, the Tallinn City Court convicted Viiol of official forgery and grand embezzlement using the simple trial procedure (Estonian: lihtmenetlus). Viiol was sentenced to two years and eight months of imprisonment, then released prematurely in February 2004.

## Use of embezzled funds

According to Viiol, he lost most of the embezzled funds through playing in casinos, being a compulsive gambler. Ironically, a significant share of the Fund's resources comes from the gambling tax.

## Political ramifications

Viiol's conviction led to resignation of Signe Kivi, then Estonian Minister of Culture.

## Repayment

Viiol has made repeated promises to repay his embezzled funds and has refused to apply for personal bankruptcy. However, lacking major sources of income, it is unlikely that he will repay a significant part of them, and the Estonian Culture Fund has classified its claims against Viiol as unlikely. During the five years since his release, Viiol has repaid a total of EEK 23,382; assuming the same average payment rate, the debt would take about 1,820 years, or until 3824, to repay.

## Neologism

In the public discussion over Viiol's exploits, the neologism viioldama, a verb form of Viiol's name, has become a noted slang word for embezzlement. The word is similar to viiuldama, which means to play a violin.

# Vampire (car)

The Vampire is a jet-propelled car that currently holds the outright British land speed record, driven by Colin Fallows to a speed of 300.3 mph (483.3 km/h) on 5 July 2000 at Elvington, Yorkshire, England.
Vampire is one of two near-identical dragsters built to be raced at the Santa Pod Raceway in 1980, the other being named Hellbender. Measuring 30 feet (9.1 m) long, it consumes between 7 and 10 UK gallons of fuel per mile and delivers 2,500 pounds of thrust without the afterburner or 5,500 pounds of thrust with it lit.
The vehicle is powered by a Rolls-Royce Orpheus turbojet engine from an ex-Red Arrows Folland Gnat paired to the afterburner from a Jaguar fighter's Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour turbofan. It can accelerate from standstill to 272 mph (438 km/h) in six seconds, a personal best set at Santa Pod Raceway.
Vampire was originally constructed by Allan 'Bootsie' Herridge, a pioneer British drag racer, as one of a pair of identical match-race jet dragsters in 1981. The sister car "Hellbender" was involved in a crash in 1986 at Santa Pod, in which Mark Woodley (an experienced dragster driver) was killed.
Vampire crashed in 2006 during shooting of a segment for the television show Top Gear, severely injuring its driver, Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond. The accident occurred as a result of a loss of control caused by a failure in the front-right wheel. Hammond's peak speed from several test runs was higher than the official British land speed record, recording a top speed of 314 mph (505 km/h). However, he did not officially break the British record as, according to the rules, two runs in different directions and an independent observer are required. Hammond crashed on his seventh run. Hammond's co-presenter, Jeremy Clarkson, joked that Hammond would have created the record for the fastest crash but would have needed to repeat the crash in the opposite direction.
In December 2007, the damaged vehicle went up for sale as scrap on eBay UK.
After an extensive restoration and recommissioning, Vampire made its first appearance since the 2006 crash at the Bromyard Speed Festival at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb in August 2021.
In January 2022, DriveTribe published a video on their YouTube channel saying goodbye to 2021 and ahead to 2022, when at the end of the video Richard Hammond got into Vampire once again. A week later, DriveTribe published a follow-up video where Mike Fernie, their content editor, started up Vampire.
# Vic Nankervis (footballer, born 1918)

Victor Andrew Nankervis (17 November 1918 – 5 October 1985) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong, Footscray, St Kilda and South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1940s.
Nankervis enlisted in 1940 and due to his commitments with the Australian Army would initially only appear sporadically in the VFL. He played for three clubs in his first three seasons, for a total of 11 games.
A rover, he returned to his original club, Geelong, in 1944 and made 12 appearances. The following year he had his best season, with 43 goals from 19 games. His goals tally included seven in a game against Footscray and was enough to top Geelong's goal-kicking.
He was the son of Geelong footballer Stephen Nankervis.

## Schoolboy career

Bradford began playing football at the schoolboy level and was a standout at Camperdown High School. Known for his diminutive stature, Bradford made his debut in the Manning Cup at age 16, netting a hat-trick in the opening game of the 2017 season. He was named team captain for the 2019 season, scoring another hat-trick in what would be his final season at the school.

## Club career
### Boys' Town

Bradford signed his first professional contract with his hometown club Boys' Town. While still a schoolboy, aged 17, he made his debut in the Jamaica Premier League, coming on as a substitute versus Tivoli Gardens in the 2017–18 season. Bradford was awarded his first senior start a week later against F.C. Reno, scoring and having an assist in the game. Bradford was described as 'one for the future' by head coach Andrew Price. Boys' Town was relegated at the end of the season, bringing an unfortunate end to Bradford's first season in Jamaica's top flight. He remained at the club after relegation, spending the 2018–19 season in the KSAFA Super League.

### Waterhouse

Bradford was transferred to Waterhouse at the start of the 2019–20 season, making his return to the Jamaica Premier League. At Waterhouse he became a regular starter and one of their main attacking threat, scoring several crucial goals for the club. Bradford received his first taste of regional football while at Waterhouse, featuring against Arcahaie of Haiti in the 2020 CONCACAF League and then against Canadian team Pacific in the 2022 CONCACAF League.
In 2022 Bradford went on a 15-day trial in Portugal at Campeonato de Portugal club Sertanense Futebol Clube.

# Ross Gigg

Ross Gigg (29 April 1956 – 8 May 2014) was an Australian professional rugby league footballer who played with the Penrith Panthers in the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) competition. Gigg's playing career spanned 1974-1979 and 1982–84. He made 110 first grade appearances, scoring 31 tries and six goals for a career total of 113 points. Gigg spent most of his career playing in the Centre position.

## Junior Football

Gigg played all of his junior football with the Blacktown Leagues club, now Blacktown City RLFC (Blacktown Bears) in the Penrith district. He captained the Penrith SG Ball team in 1971 and the Jersey Flegg team in 1973. Both of these teams made it through to the final – only to lose both times. His favoured position at this stage was five-eighth. Gigg was also a competitive athlete, making it to the final of the 400 metres and coming second in Javelin at the 1974 NSW State carnival.
In 1973 as a 17-year-old he was appointed captain of a combined Penrith under 18's team that toured New Zealand, and was subsequently graded for the 1974 season. See Penrith Panthers.

## Playing career

As an 18-year-old still attending school, Gigg started 1974 in the lower grades but started to make appearances in the top squad by mid year. He played on the wing in the inaugural Amco Cup final, and by the end of the year was making regular appearances in first grade. By the start of the 1975 season Gigg was firmly established in the top grade as a Centre, and his form that year saw him take out Penrith's player of the year award, quite an achievement for a 19-year-old. The years 1975-79 were frustrating ones as a regular first grader in a Penrith team that struggled to make an impact on the competition. 1979 saw a serious knee injury that sidelined him for a lengthy period mid season.
In 1980-81 he spent some time away from Penrith, playing in the Group 10 competition with Lithgow Shamrocks, before returning to Penrith in 1982. He played every first grade game in his last year in 1984 where the team missed the play-offs by one game. See History of the Penrith Panthers.

## After Football

After retiring at the end of the 1984 season Gigg worked in sports administration. His first role was as Assistant Club Secretary at Penrith where he secured somewhat of a coup in signing established stars Chris Mortimer and Peter Kelly (rugby league) to the club, still regarded by some as the best ever signings for Penrith. He then subsequently worked as CEO of the Western Australian Rugby League (WARL) and then took up a role as CEO of the Newcastle Harness Racing Club in 1992. During his 22-year tenure he oversaw major improvements to then track, the construction of a new grandstand and was successful in bringing top class events such as Interdominion heats and Grand Circuit racing to the Newcastle track. In 2008 he was instrumental in setting up the Hunter branch of the Men of League Foundation and had the role of Secretary from its inception.

## Death

It was announced on 8 May 2014 he had died from a heart attack.

## Honoured by Penrith Panthers

In 2006 Gigg was one of the nominees for Centre in the Panthers all time Team of Legends.
