Today Socceroo #275, John Karaspyros has nominated the Marrickville Red Devils as his GrassRoots football club. Mackey Park, just up the river from Sydney airport, is a hive of activity in winter & a number of big names have come through the club, but John is the first (thus far) to give them his nomination. A pleasure to chat and say, welcome aboard sir. |
