Goalkeeper, Mike Gibson, has nominated Penrith RSL as his GrassRoots club. Playing out of the vast expanse of green that is Jamison Park at the foot of the Blue Mtns in the Nepean district west of Sydney, RSL was one of the junior clubs of another forthcoming post, though not his GrassRoots club. Nepean is one of the largest junior associations in Sydney and will no doubt be home to many future posts. Mike, welcome aboard sir.
Today's nominator is Socceroo #349.

Gibbo first played for Penrith FC (then South Penrith soccer club) with myself and other school mates. He was a decent wicket keeper and first put the goal keeping gloves on for us, not RSL. cheers.

the authorGreg 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. |
