Before spider Kalac, there was... Allan "Spider" Maher. The second of our 1974 Socceroo goalkeepers & Socceroo #251, has nominated Nth. Rocks SC as his GrassRoots. The club played originally out of Nth Rocks Primary school but then moved to Nth. Rocks Park.
Allan's inclusion brings us up to 10 of the '74 squad who have offered up their GrassRoots club. Allan won 19 caps following the '74 World Cup.
Welcome aboard sir.

Greg Werner began playing in 1965, with the GrassRoots club of Socceroo skipper Murray Barnes, a change of suburb at age 6 and a new club, one that would become the GrassRoots club of Rob Wheatley & after a 27 year hiatus came back to playing with the GrassRoots club of Socceroos Steve Perry, Richie Bell, Chris Iconomidis & Matilda, Justine Fisher, one could say that the links with the NT are ingrained.
At age 55, when his body gave up on playing, he took up the whistle to stay actively involved. In November of 2014 he created the GFP on Facebook to fill the void left by those in control of the game & in January 2016 launched this website.
