Welcome aboard wee Bobby.
Bob Hogg is today's nominator, and the GrassRoots club he has nominated is Sauchie Jnrs (pronounced Sockie), in Alloa, Scotland. Socceroo #228 played his junior football at Shaw Park, still home to the Juniors all these years later. While not making it to the final squad for Germany in '74, Bobby was an integral member of the build-up winning 13 caps between 1972 & 1973 with his final match the vital World Cup qualifier against the Indonesians at the Sports Ground. He spent the bulk of his Australian club career playing alongside Johnny Warren in the all-conquering St.George side of the 70's.
