Another of first World Cup squad, and another from the Hunter is today's nominator.
​Ron Giles, Socceroo #180, has nominated the Dudley Soccer club as his GrassRoots club. Dudley, now Dudley-Redhead, is part of the Newcastle southern beaches belt and another field across the road from a coal mine. Ron was coached by his father Bill (Wilfred) at Dudley before moving on to Charlestown, Cardiff & Australs before shifting to Croatia in Sydney. Great to have another legend of Hunter football on board. Welcome Ron.

Hello. I've read elsewhere that Ron's father Wilfred (Bill) Giles, aka Woofta, also played for Australia. I can't find him on any Socceroo lists though. Can you confirm please?

    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.
