Yet another of nature's gentlemen, and a pleasure to welcome aboard.
Lets head back to the auld country for today's nominator. Socceroo #186 is Allan Marnoch, Hakoah stalwart and man-o-Fife. Allan has nominated the Smeaton Boys club from the Fife Association as his GrassRoots club (Fife of course being the district located between the Firth of Forth & the Firth of Tay on the east coast of Scotland). He left for Australia & Hakoah in '65 & made his debut against, you guessed it, Scotland. Allan is stood to John Watkiss' right in the NSW team pic & back row right in the 1969 Socceroo shot.

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. |
