I only have 2 claims to fame by association, I think :)

My great grandad was Bos Daly, who played for Norwood, and (I think) North. He still holds the SANFL goalkicking record for a match. He kicked 27 goals in a match (I think for Norwood).

Other than that, my cousin Mark Donovan played for Glenelg (Boo-hiss) in the 80's. He was number 32.

Bos Daly did play for North Adelaide and was a member of the 1902 and 1905 premiership teams.He was also the states leading goalkicker (when with us) in 1903(54 goals) and 1905 (30 goals). When at Norwood he was the state leading goalkicker in 1893 (88 a state record until 1930) 1894 (47)1895(46) and 1899 32) he was also the states leading goalkicker in 1900 (27) when he played with West Torrens. He actually kicked 23 goals in one game(Norwood vs Adelaide in 1893) which is the still the state record for one game(being equalled by ken Farmer in 1940.)
He was also a member of the North board for many years after he retired from playing. There is a great photo of him congratulating ken Farmer on equalling his record in the book THE FARMER FILES.

Hope that is of interest.

Wow - thanks a lot LL :)
Didn't know much of that. Bos was (I am led to believe), my father's mother's father. Pity I didn't inherit more of the footy genes :(

Yes - for almost as long as I'd lived in SA. Hence my lack of allegiance to any SA teams other than Port and Port :p

Are you going to the Port vs WC match in round one?
Are you the same Tim who's on the Port Adelaide mailing lists?

I haven't been able to find the links to the honour boards but have a copy of the 3 JPEG files that I can send by email to get them back on the club's web site.

Peter is now a wine rep for Mcwilliams, see him around the place a bit, it's amazing the amount of ex-footy players who end up being alcohol reps. They seem to turn out pretty good, the only dud I remember being a footballer was Nigel Smart, he was useless, since he finished up with West End no current footballers have been employed since.
