Angus Drennan

Socceroo #108, Angus Drennan was the first of many players to arise from the Sunshine district of Melbourne and another whose footballing education was forged at school.

Angus' junior career was split between 3 clubs... Sunshine, Albion & Nobel Juniors, all of whom are sadly no longer around. He played most of his football at what was then M'cKay's Ground named for the owner of the Sunshine Harvester factory after which the district was named. The ground would go on to be known as Chaplin Reserve.

Drennan gained all 3 of his caps on the 1948 tour of NZ with the first at the famous Lancaster Park in Christchurch.

Our former football players that brought us victory should be praised and glorified. They became a big inspiration to our current football players that are fighting to return home victorious. If Angus Drennan ended up in a local paper, that just means that he was a good player back in his time. It is such a shame that his clubs are no longer around. If they were still here, those clubs would probably be our headlines and still making some noise.

I love watching football games since I saw a movie about a girl who followed her dream as the first girl football player. Everything was going well, until the day that their team got cut off by their university because of their handbook saying that 'No girl should play football'. That is when she transferred to a different school and pretended to be her brother. Luckily, nobody in that school ever saw her brother before. To summarize it, she proved herself to her old school and gained a prince charming.

    the author

    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.
