Today is the turn of Socceroo #245.
Gary Byrne has nominated the Camden Tigers from the semi-rural SW edge of Sydney as his grassRoots club. During Gary's time with the Tigers they used to play out of Onslow Reserve but now have a more substantial home at Ron Dine Reserve. Gary made his name with Marconi and debuted for the Socceroos in '76 against Hong Kong in the big post '74 re-build.
​Welcome aboard Gary.

I played with Gary for Canberra Arrows in 1983 as an 18 year old debutant. Gary was a wonderful mentor to me and a great human being. I owe him a debt of thanks. Top player as well.

    Greg Werner began playing in 1965, with the GrassRoots club of Socceroo skipper Murray Barnes, a change of suburb at age 6 and a new club, one that would become the GrassRoots club of Rob Wheatley & after a 27 year hiatus came back to playing with the GrassRoots club of Socceroos Steve Perry, Richie Bell, Chris Iconomidis & Matilda, Justine Fisher, one could say that the links with the NT are ingrained.
    At age 55, when his body gave up on playing, he took up the whistle to stay actively involved. In November of 2014 he created the GFP on Facebook to fill the void left by those in control of the game & in January 2016 launched this website.
