Yeah I'm not sure mate cause he played a couple seasons at south Adelaide but he was top footballer who actually come second to my old man in 1965 mail medal

I think Robert Scott (Robe) played at Kingston in the early 80s. I think he kicked a heap of goals there.

Yeah that's right mate and he could play and a tough bastard too

Good stuff

In the under 21 program you will see a J Mattner : fair chance he is related to Martin Mattner from Adelaide/Sydney

The above Mansell is an uncle of Darren Mansell who captained Glenelg and South Australia

There's also Footscray's fullback in their team of the century Herb Henderson

P Ey - Glencoe. There was a David Ey who played for Sturt, maybe from Penola?

I reckon Peter Ey is from Tantanoola, David Ey's late father's name is Robyn, I actually was lucky enough to play in a premiership under David Ey for the Burr and he was a terrific player/coach and despite being perceived as a receiver he was bloody far from it! He was hard and every game was targeted from opposition team's trying to knock his block off.
