Another member of the Class of '74 is the latest to join the fray. Dave Harding, Socceroo #236, followed the usual British line into the game. Dave's GrassRoots progression was school into the academy ranks onto a contract... St. Matthews Primary into St.Francis Xavier Secondary then the Toffees academy.
His footballing odyssey brought him to Australia for the first time in 1966 where he teamed up with Pan Hellenic, the pre-cursor to Sydney Olympic, and on to his Socceroo debut in the landmark game against Uruguay at the SCG in '74, then onto Germany for the World Cup.
He's pictured at right, with his "twin" George Harris. A pleasure to have met him, witnessed his debut & have him aboard.
