First Port Adelaide memory
Can't really recall a memory without Port Adelaide. Earliest memories include lining up from 6.30am every game at all suburban grounds with my grandparents, parents and other family members. Was also born the day we lost to Sturt in the 1967 Grand Final but extensive therapy in the shape of many GF wins since have helped me over come this
All-time favourite Port Adelaide player
Greg Phillips, Timmy Ginever, Brendon Lade. Would have loved to see Bob Quinn play based on the stories my grandfather shared about him. Also love reading about Punch Mucklow and Bull Revel from our history, much better nicknames back then!
Best part of being a Club 1870 member: Just knowing I am doing what I can
