Nothing like spending a Sunday catching up on old times, and with the latest player into the GFP they were very old times.
Socceroo #147 is Doug Wendt, who has nominated the Newcastle club, New Lambton FC, as his GrassRoots club. The left-half (midfielder) made is debut against Sth. Africa in 1955 and his mum made his club shirt. Note the differing V's, buttons etc.
Both a pleasure and an honour to have you on the team Doug.

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.
