The shores of Kogarah Bay were awash with young talent in the '60s and '70s. The second player to nominate Sans Souci as his GrassRoots club is Socceroo #222, defender, George Harris whom I caught up with at the recent Johnny Warren Foundation golf day. Thanks again, Jamie Warren. George was capped 18 times after making his debut against Israel in Brisbane in 1971.
Right across the bay is Carrs Park, stay tuned for more from this hotbed of footballing talent. Welcome aboard George, a pleasure to have you with us. 
ps… the pennant belonged to my late father-in-law, a stalwart of both Sans Souci & Grays Pt.

    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.
