On the 10th Anniversary of Australia's qualification for the 2006 World Cup its appropriate that we delve further into our footballing past with today's GrassRoots nomination.
Bob Bignall, Socceroo #127, sprang from the ranks of the Corrimal Rangers in Wollongong's northern suburbs. Bob was a one club man, making his debut for Australia in an "A" international in 1954, but he'd been representing his country for years beforehand.
The highlight of Bob's career was becoming the first player to captain his country in a sanctioned international tournament i.e the '56 Olympic Games. Welcome into the fold please, the pride of Corrimal, the late Bob Bignall.
