Following a car accident in 1974, Robert became a quadriplegic at age 22 and died at the age of 47 in 1999.

The Robert Rose Cup was then created to commemorate Robert’s contribution to sport and more importantly to raise funds for The Robert Rose Foundation. As of the 2007 season, both clubs agreed to award a medal after the presentation of the Robert Rose Cup.  Named after Robert’s father, Bob Rose, and Footscray legend Charlie Sutton.
