Socceroo #278, another man from the heart of the Australian backline.
Marconi stalwart Tony Henderson arrived here as a 23-year old with Tyneside in his blood but went on to captain his adopted country after debuting against the Kiwis in '79. Tony, like most who learned their football in the UK, did so at school & Tony has nominated Gosforth Secondary Modern School & Newbiggin Hall Boys Club as formative influences on his GrassRoots game.
He played a couple of years in Sth. Africa before finally finding his new home & its a pleasure to have him aboard the good ship GFP.
