Socceroo #391, Carl Veart, is the latest to nominate his GrassRoots club. 14yrs at Jenkins Ave from the age of 4 means Carl owes a lot to Whyalla Croatia and to South Australian football which he is paying back in spades through his coaching role at FFSA.
Carl first wore the Green & Gold alongside Adelaide City teammate Damian Mori in the Oceania WC qualifier against the Solomon Isands, scoring in each of his first 5 games, which is probably some kind of record(Andrew Howe). He also played in the mighty '92 Barcelona Olympics side paving the way for a move to the UK for a number of seasons before returning home to complete his career in Adelaide. Seems you can take the boy out of Adelaide but you'll never take Adelaide or SA out of the boy.
