Football can often be a family affair, especially if you're from Ipswich. Socceroo #133, Col Kitching (main pic) has nominated the Bundamba Rangers as the GrassRoots club of both himself and cousin Spencer. Kitching is a venerated name around Ipswich with at least 4 players carrying that name having gone on to wear the green & gold. Col & Spencer appear back row left side by side in the all conquering Bundamba side of 1955. Also in the side are vice captain Norm Rule #163 and skipper of both Bundamba & Australia Bob Lawrie who is front row centre. Welcome aboard Col & Spencer Kitching.
