Tony Krslovic

Sometimes in this game one has to wait before a story can be properly told, the story of Tony Krslovic, Socceroo #368, is one such case.

The club the young striker has named is the now defunct, King Tom JSC, which in its day was one of many clubs formed by the burgeoning Croatian community around Sydney. There club played on the outer fields at Edensor Park which would eventually be subsumed by the growing club. Eventually King Tom Soccer club would come under the banner of the senior Sydney Croatia club which was competing in the NSW State League & thence the NSL.

Tony's only appearance for the national team came in 1990 off the bench in a 3-0 win over Indonesia in Jakarta in the final of the Merlion Cup. He played his entire senior career with Sydney Croatia/United & St.George.

My thanks must go to Jerry Glavan for finding the King Tom emblem which is now there for all to see. I had always thought the name Okon was only associated with Marconi but you will see Paul's older brother Klaus in the same King Tom U12 team front row centre.

    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.
