Steve Perry

Today's nominator is one from very close to home. 
Socceroo #273, Steve Perry, has nominated Cronulla RSL SC as his GrassRoots club and he joins Richie Bell in naming the Stingrays. 
Solander Field (pictured) is the ground to which the club moved from its original home, Captain Cook Field, just across the road, where both Steve & Richie grew up playing. Captain Cook is now a rugby league field.
Steve made his Socceroo debut in 1978 at the SCG against Greece alongside 6 other debutants, he was on the books of Brisbane City at the time. Steve was picked up from under 15's by Sutherland coach Mike Johnson for the last 4 or 5 games of the 1969 3rd grade season which they won. Next year he was a fixture at right back in the Sutherland first grade side that won promotion.
In all Steve won a dozen caps for Australia and came back to RSL to play O45s (something echoed by Dave Ratcliffe) before finally hanging up the boots and joining Jack Reilly & Michael Denton​ in moving to Tasmania.
Steve is the second leg of the Stingrays male trifecta and it is an absolute pleasure to have him aboard.

    the author

    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.
