A couple of old photos from the 2004 - 40 years of Amateur Soccer (football) SAASL Year Book.

GMH 1964


I imagine that front row centre is Earl Pudlers Dad ?
Is that Cliff Votier in the back row ?

Elizabeth Vale 1966


E. Nuttall, any relation to Brian Nuttall ?

[Bomber]

Pudler from GMH any relation to Earl?

Pudler from GMH any relation to Earl?

I asked that at the bottom of the pic, chances are he is Earl's Father !

[Brown paper bag crew]

I reckon its Earl, minus the mullet. Old sherry

[blue moon]

not a decent sun tan between the lot of them. Didnt know Curley from the 3 stooges played for GMH.
Just assumed Earl was a b*stard, who'd have thought.

Are you referring to E.Allen in the back row, because I thought the same.

Ahh, sorry. Missed that bit.

[Hawkesy]

could these teams not afford matching socks?

[Bomber]

I remember in my first junior years we had to get our own socks and not everyone in the team ended up with the same, so it looked a bit scruffy.
Mind you all the people who worked at GMH in the "old" days, you could be mistaken that it was a real mix, similar like the Barbarians in Rugby Union (ie they wear their own country's socks).

Actually in the olden days (1880's era) players didn't have numbers on their backs and were identified by their stockings (=socks).

Back then identification in Elizabeth was usually done by a Police line up !

How they finished up in 1966.



Does anyone know why the name "Fijians" was used and how the 2 Fijians clubs were related.
I believe Rudi Templin used to play for them !

[winzor]

Joe Pirri turns up again.... goalie for GMH in '64, he played for Don in '68 and Elizabeth Thistle in '69.

I went to school with someone who played for one of those "Fijian" teams for a while.... I remember asking him about the name and he didn't know...!!

Adelaide Fijian went on to be known as Salisbury Fijian ( they used to share Salisbury United facilities ) and eventually became Pooraka United. I understand that several ex-pat Fijians of Indian decent started the team in the early to mid 60's.

APAC were a manufacturing company in and around Elizabeth/Woodville that supplied parts for Holdens. They became Clyde-APAC.

E. Nuttall, any relation to Brian Nuttall ?

Cliff Votier was junior coach at Elizabeth City in the early seventies. I remember a game against Juventus Juniors at Ramsay Park and Cliff placed a black and white towell on the floor in the doorway. I remember watching every player walk all over the towell as they left the room, Cliff shouting' let's give it to em boys.' Cliff could really fire up the boys up, great motivator.

[LocalBloke]

Great history! Bet there was some good players in that lot.

[50cent]

I was playing colts at Elizabeth City when Cliff was coaching u/18's. At the time we were told he'd played professionally at Crystal Palace. Another name I recognise from these pics is Wally Townsend. He was our Trainer when Tom Armitt coached at Elizabeth City. Hard as nails Yorkshireman who played centre half for Bradford Park Avenue when they still existed. He didn't have eyebrows, he had callouses where they should have been from all the times they'd been split open in challenges. Fantastic character and a reall football man.
