Kenny The Croc Gone But Never Forgotten - Paul Makin Chats To Gil Julin About His Best Mate And Cousin Kenneth Skinner
The Shire lost a stalwart of the Port Douglas Crocs last Thursday the 22nd September. Kenneth Leslie Skinner died peacefully in Mossman Hospital. He was 73. However, Kenneth Skinner was better known as Kenny the Croc, the Port Douglas Crocs mascot for many years. Kenny would lead out the team in his croc suit and hi-five them onto the ground. He was also popular with the kids. Kenny and kids got along so well he took a personal interest in their sporting future through the Port Douglas Junior Crocs AFL Club. It’s estimated he raised $100,000 or more when he started a regular raffle at the Central Hotel. Paul Makin chats with cousin and best mate Gil Julin about Kenny's early days and how this real natural born character ended up in Port.
