Resources

Since the inception of the GrassRoots Football Project, initially as a Facebook page and then a little over 12 months later as as this website, I have relied on a number of resources to track down the facts needed to make this record as complete and accurate is it deserves to be. Initially, the central point of contact was Facebook itself but as time rolled on and the list of Fb contacts grew thin, I was handed a lifeline by Jamie Warren from the Johnny Warren Foundation in the form of an ancient database. While many of the numbers were out of date it gave me a valuable insight into the regions where many of the old Socceroos were most recently living. Gradually the network of contacts grew and word spread of what we were doing, contacts provided more contacts but where there were no contacts for the GFP to fulfil its mission, it came down to old fashioned research and without valuable resources none of this would be possible. Books, magazines, programmes, newspapers & websites all have played a valuable part in building this picture. Many stories are yet to be posted as they are waiting on confirmation of details found in many of these resources.These are some of those who have made this possible...
