SAASL State Team Gallery 1966 - 2007
Someone in another thread ask about SAASL select sides.
I think they are a good form of recognition, particularly for U/23's or U/25's to blood some new faces.
I'd love to have some of the original photos to scan in for better quality but these will have to do for now.
Obviously there will be a few missing so I'll keep an eye out for more !

Re: SAASL State Team Gallery 1966 - 2007
Great work Swanny as usual,always brings back good memories, when you see familiar faces. I dont know if you remember the Pink Soccer Weekly newspapers we use to get in the 70's always gave great write ups on the SAASL. I may still have some in my shed,which I am hoping to sort out over the Easter weekend. If I come across any,if you like, I can make copies and get them to you some how,let you pick and choose what you want to publish on the forum,as I dont have the know-how,nor the technology.
I am confident I still have some of them,as I re read them at least once a year There was one game where Austria were beaten by Munno Para Apac ,and I reckon the Apac striker Dave Hartley ( former Scottish professional ) scored a hat-trick, direct from corners, I think it was played at Ramsay Park...........I hope I find that write up.

I think that the Goalkeeper with dark hair may be Barry Wright.swannsong wrote:Some recent scans courtesy the SAASL....looking for names to add...

I think the other keeper in the bottom photo is B.Pit (Parafield) and the guy left-front row with knee up is Joe Meuris !Black_Panther wrote:I think that the Goalkeeper with dark hair may be Barry Wright.swannsong wrote:Some recent scans courtesy the SAASL....looking for names to add...
My thoughts are they were playing trials to select the State side as both photos taken in the same spot on probably the same day.
Can recognise Bobby Orr, Colin Prunty and F.Oneill in the top photo..
I like the 1960's style photo-bombing in the other team shot

Re: SAASL State Team Gallery 1966 - 2007
The guy kneeling in front of P Lambe int the tracksuit is Louie Lodi, an exceptional Goalkeeper with Salisbury Inter ( 70s) the guy 2 in from P Lambe ( B row )is Tony Allerton, ( Salis Inter ) one of the best fullbacks in the league at that time, the player to the left of him we use to call him Chalky, surname Kocsis not sure about spelling ( Hindmarsh OB) very skilful striker.
Player to the right of G Butler is Johnny Braiotta ( Western Utd,now known as Fulham )
The guy kneeling in front of J Coull is Wally Rella, former Pres/Chairman Salisbury Inter.
Hope this helps - I know I have a copy of copies of the Soccer newspaper you are asking about, just knowing where to find them. Doing a lot of rearranging at home,give me a few weeks to try and locate them.
Not long after that when Frankie Day was added to the state squad, it was a most awesome strike force.
Brings back many good memories, Good work Swannsong.

Have I labelled them correctly ? ....The guy in the centre with the ball looks like an olf Western United (Fulham player) ? And the guy next to Jock Coull is that Kilishiri ?
Some of these guys are in the 1973 team below...

Re: SAASL State Team Gallery 1966 - 2007
Spot on ! I dont know about the guy with the ball ? John Huider could be in there somewhere,outstanding centre back,would be one of the first players chosen every time,in my books.
That is why it is so hard to compare good current players to greats of the past era, they were all very experienced players.
Would the current crop of good players still be be playing saasl if the Reserves league was still going in the ffsa ?
