Football clubs are founded on their history. Their history helps forge friendships that bonds blokes together for life and memories that last an eternity.

An unfortunate reality with a Club that has lasted for the best part of 67 years is that when you look through the history records, many great players are no longer with us.

But for a former soldier who played in our first ever competition match, the memories and recollections of our innaugural day will never leave him.

Nice story. I wonder if anyone knows how Wally O'Connell is going? Says here he was born in 1923. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wally_O%27Connell

I think i heard Zorba say on 2KY once that O'Connell molded Fulton who molded Toovey who molded DCE.
