ForewordBy Graham Dodd

hen I was askcd if I could writc a little about thc bcgiDnings ofthc Jcts, it seemed asin'plc enough r€quest. As tbc days pass€d my miDd began ro tum ovcr the amazing

events that took place with the sthings of the novenrent ro form the Unley High OldScholars Footbdll Club in 1969. Nanes and faccs flashcd bcfor€ rn€ in whal could only badcscrib€d as a crazy but wondeihrl timc for a junior rcachcr jusl appoinrcd to the school in1968. Thc idca and push camc from rccent old scholars and encouragcmcnt came fromteaching collcagues Anhur Cotton, Glen Wood*ad, B.ian Pettman, Tcd Smith and Eric(Tiger) Tlckwell. Even the School Principal, Irn May, rbought that ir wls a good idea. Thisyoung encrgctic PE and Sport tcachcr can do il - rft€r all he was only 22 snd had all the trmcin the world as a single young bloke!

At that time therc was not m active old scholals association, nor had such a spo(ing aspcct tothe association €ver operarcd. As the idea formulatcd in my and oth€rs minds, it became .r€ryimponant that tlrc association providc the opponunity for sodenrs to cortinu€ playing spo(togethcr in a community context undcr thc p@ud narne of Unley High School. It was nevermeant to replace commudity clubs but providc another avenue for hcalthy a€c!€ation. In&edmany students went to a range of community clubs of thcir choic€ to continu€ their football. Itwas lherc for thos€ who wished, on graduating, ro coDtinue enjoying th€ir footy with friendsin ao association with the School-

It also b€came apparent that therc \|/as a stDng ne€d to develop a sens€ of history andtradition for excellence in sporting involvement as young adults thot was inculcated thrcugnthe school programs. Such an eo&avour would cnable thc applicarion of responsibilitydevcloped in the stualcnts duDugh the sEong cthos of Unlcy lIigb. The 'scholan wouldprovide an avenue for families ro b€ involv€d over time as the Fadition arld history €volvec.

Well . . . these werc the noblc dr€ams of thc young and irmocent to b€ fashioned into some sonof reality! We espous€d the goals at sevcrnl public rne€tings to canvas support ior the

establishment of thc Unley High Old Scholars Association. The &eam was to have many

spodng options (football, rennis. cricket, hockey .. ) for dle army of gmduating scholars

There was no scnpt for whal was to follow _ we werc a[ very young (I was lh€ oldest at 23 I)'

had no club rooms, no existing nanaBem€nt sEuclDre' no ni8hr training facilities (night light

haining was a new concepr!), no tradition and no player suPpon staff How€ver, we did have

bucke[ of spirit and enthusiasm and a d€sirE to organise and contol our own fulue .l think

this is what attracted me most of all to be involved with these young peopl€ and the vision had

begun to unfold.

With the srong suppon of thc School coftmunity w€ formcd the LrHOS Football-Club nnd

joine<l the Aniatcui l-eaguc in l9?O to Play in A7. Training was icld after school as a

continuation of the A. B & C gade school leams. Mosl of lhe old scholars managed to stalt

training by 4.30pm and we usually got in a us€ful 45-60 minutes while it was still reasonably

]t,gft. Ela;k nud and (o/d s,rp"rs epitomis€d thii lirn€ with the occasional 'mudding of

s;me des€rving soul. ln I 97 I , floodlights wer€ erected on the nonhem wing of the tchool and

we trained on ahe hockey Pitch in the dark €venings still washing the dirty black mud off with

cold showcrs. I still marv;l at lhal magnificcnt feat - lo get th€se !'oung' intelligent streetwise

guys to continue doing it for 2 years! We €ven scrounged the odd bright street lighl-for €xtra

iision to honc our ski s while wc mn the pcrimetcr of the Srounds bandballing and discussing

FOREWORD

Rosewatcr, Ferrydcn Park, Bmadvicw, Adelaide Univcrsity, Rivdsidc and Greenacrcs whowere all catablished tough clubs io their organis{rion and sEucture. Sorne of thes€ had a half acenory of Eadition and organisation to suppon thcir playels. But...it didn'l se€m & rMtter atall to us!

Bob Julian coached tlle team for thc ner! two years and rve h€ld our own indeed. Still rcttaking any prcmierships, bul gaining grEat rcspect and tlccoming morc organis.d as theScholars sEucture evolved. Bob becarne a legend bccaus. h. broke his stemum att€mpting rotake a sEong chest mark ftom Bill Ch€cN oDly to hock thc ball 40 mc[Es back into thedir€ction of the opponents. Hc playci our the gadc rho' a vcry iough chamctcf!

Throughout l97l & 1972 we s€rdcd and established undcr thc firm ard logicat leaddship ofBrian P€ttman, a colleague on t|e staff of the school. Hc brought a s€nse of ordcr andplanning to our organisation that rcally cstablish.d us in ihis vital phase of our developmcnt.

Graham Chadeswonh took over as coach in 1974 and moulded the ream into a slick, tougnunit ss Dore lads joined us siaight from school. Chfflcy insrilled a sens€ of keen desirc towin and humour into our ganrc - he built on thc foundation work laid by Bob Julian. It wasfitting bccausc they werc old school matcs and together wirh thch othcr long tirfle friend, JcffWinrer, we r€ached the finds rhat year.

A young lad named David Johnston mn the boundary for us and the Scholars got into hisboncs. From this he emergcd to play a pivotal role in thc cnsuiog yeals as the Club devclopedinto a stlong community pllscoce,

At about this time is was bcaoming evidcnt that wc wcrc again rcady lo fly and cxpand ourhorizons to get our own clubrooms - sorncrhing in which wc would bc proud ro havc ouropponcnts changc! As a rcsuh of thc succcss in 1974, wc wcrc clevatcd to A5 in '75 andb€causc of the numbcrs wc wene attracting. again put iD a Rcserve side, Ccoff Forrest, ateacher at the school coached th€ A's and Peter Hanias coachcd the A5 Reserves. We morcthan held our own in 1975 just missing rh€ finals in both leams-

In 1976 another significant old scholar ro join our r.nks was Bemie St.er. His skill inmanaging the two sides wls pivotal in theb succ€ss. H€ later went on to b€ the Club trainerand io this day iemains with drc Club. You jusr can't achi€ve things wiihout peoplc like Bemworking as hard as h€ did.

As Grcg Hcwi( took over as coach in 1976 we b€gan plalning rhe constnrcrion of clubroomson the south-westem comer of the Kingswood Oval. As it tumed out w€ were thown togetherwith the Southem Suburbs Rugby Club as futurc house-mates. Who can fory€t the grcatworkhorses and wonderful characters in Bob Tickl€ and ceorge Cooke. They lived in thegeen shed on the no(hwestern corner of rhe oval and were also pleased to have a brand newmodern home. We played half the year on Kingswood Oval changing in the green shed andunder new lights that werE errcted by Mitcham Council. Both our teahs had a fierEe year butwerc slill unsuccessfirl. We actually moved into the new rooms in August that year and had topinch ourselves at the posh oew facilities. Hot shov,/ers and pl€ntv of it - ask Jeff Nicholas

who was .lways first i4 last out. Clcatr clcar floors, massage tables, umpircs rooms and ourown strategy blackboard! The work done behind lhe scen€s by the commitiee in planning andnegotirting was enormous. It took its toll on our on field abilities and drained us of time tohonc our skills. This was replaced by the consianr feeling of ercitement as ov own Tdj Mohalarcs€ fmm th€ ground.

As we establishcd inio our new home, worked very hard to get lhe structwr and organisationlhe b€st we could, lhe rEwards sFncd to come- With lhe appoinrment of Davc (Mad Dog)Maosell as AJ captain-coach alld Eltis Burchell as A5R coach we entered and enjoyed agolden pcriod of football. Both teams made the 6nals wilh the A's just missing the GiandFinal. wllo can forget the superstars Kevin Roberrs and Gr€g Parke. who played amagnificent rolc in thc tclm's succcss that ycm. Both tlcsa coachcs wer€ chamcters in lheirown right and added considemblc toughrcss and humou to thc Club. Dave was fierce andquite a sight without his frcnt teeth - ofteo makinS i( hard for the nrnne$ to know what theheil he was talking about! For his parl. Ellis took our Rcservc aide to the Club's firstpremicrship in f978 and be.ame famous for his t erile /a rehead rcfercnce at three quanertime when it wlls tight. The social life at the Club was flolrishing and rronr iust keptcoming.I believe that Dave deserved a flag as well for his heroic effons in leading from the front-butir continually and cmelly eluded him. He was our longest s€ning coach (3 years) in our shonhi story to date. As a result of the effo(s of thes€ two we werc elevated to 44 in I 979 to againhold our own and gain rcsp€ct for the ncxt few years.

Over this time ( | 975-?9) we had the wonderful s€n,ices of anolher character in his own right- Ray Blanch! Ray wls our first official Club tirnckeep€r. His prcs€ncc around the Club wrsreassuring as he always had the stats and could remember eveo the finest details.

A complete change of the guard s6w us finish out the first decade. A complctely diff€rentcharacEr in Peter Mofiison look over the A4's and Dave (Dovo) Johnslon srepped up to coachthe A5 Rese.ves. They maintlrned our repuution as o Club and in their own way tnade asignificallt stamp on thc cvolving history of thc Club.

This was a groat period of my life: one of the best. I look back in wonder at whlt w€ did insuch a sho( time while we were so young! We had 12 differ€nt coaches in ou. first l0 yearsand hundreds of players involved over fiat lime. Sorn€ 30 years lat€r I'm told that close to1000 players have donned the guemry fo. the Club. Yes, it has changcd its nrme to the Jets,and we have continually changed d|e colours, but $e basic blue remains. Probably the lateslplayers have no idea where it all staned so I hope this lide discoursc sheds some light on that,

It is very satisfying to s€e the sons of thc eady grcats oow out playing with the CIub. Thedream actually materialised and l'n so pleased for thos€ early 'salts' who pionecrcd the Clubfrom very meagrc b€ginnings.

For my paf| after an inlens€ 2 year p€riod to complete a national PE curriculum, I was invitedto become lhe Deputy Chairman of the Amateur L€agoe in 1982 and served 5 eojoyable yearsuntil the binh of my tripl€! children in 1986. My own direct involvement in the UnleyFootba[ Club (as it cane to be known) has been less since rhat time, but I continue

Preface

rF his book does not s€t our to be one of thos€ boring introsFctive histories so often put outI by sponing bodies. The aim is to make it relatively readable, even if you have never

heard of the mighty Unley Jets, or if the peculiarities and cultu€ of a minor Aussi€ Rulesfootball team aft not your normal bag.

This is primarily a light-heaned look !r one afirateur football club's first thi(y years. A senseof humor is paramount rt Unley. {nd in fact, it becane the ess€nce of survival until our firstsenior prcmiership in 1993. Thank you to Grahafi Dodd for writing th. forcword for thisbook, the only man that could have done so with such outhoriry. tlopcfully the enjoyment thalDoddy got out of this process will be sharcd by the Dany tbousands of p€ople who willputrhasc this finc publication.

Many of the stories contained herein arc bas€d on the club's Dumcrous grcat 'chalactels'. Forany player, supponer or official who did not gei much idvolvcd in thc "off-field" activiies,the chances are your name will not appear in tbe gencral tcxt- lnstcad, tum sEaight to or.lrcomprehensive index and sbtistical analysis at fie rcar of ih€ booklet.

If you are inrer€st€d in just one incitlent or personal landrnark from these 3 decades, chancesare it may have bc€n overlooked. With more than 1000 matchcs to cover, over 100 officialsocial events, and an cstitrurt€d l00O ro 2U)O pcopl€ whose lives have been affccted in somoway by dis uniqu€ club. it calllc balk !o highfighls and p€Nonal memories. Some of ihc morefantastic incidents aft even loos€ly based on the tutb.

Current members may not easily rclatc to our fomative yea$. Convercely, some tirelessworkers ard drinkers from the early 70's lllay dwell tranc€like in their.€cliners and thinkonly of the club as it was then. Nowadays, some of thes€ whe€lchair bound and defiepit oldfossils may only read Jers rcsults itr the 'Mail', but they v'ere still THERE. No-one involved

Beginnings

A lthough r€p€aring some of the rnformarion conrained in claham Dodd's foreword, it was.an' decided to give a brief background on thc formation of the club from a differentp€rspective. Graham's modesty has pr€vented him from revealing all.

The period of the genesis of thc Unley Fff)tball Club was turbulent with strong forces pushingin many directions as well as scepticism.bout mounting such a venlurE. In the end, lhere haveb€en some casuolties and bum outs along the way. But !s Cmham said in one of theinterviews for this book "the €arly days c€(ainly provided th€ opportunity for a numtler olyoung men and their ponners to tak€ control of their own recreative sponing destinies tobecome responsible youog adults: which is why the club is still hcre and llourishing 30 yea$lat€r".

Unley High School was a w€ll established and r€spected public school. and had a proudsponing history in school competition. Two or thr€e factors camc logcthcr in the late 196O'swhich €ventuated in the formation of the Unley High Old Scholars Foorball Club. Firsr,Aussie Rules was in it's prime in $e Uoley/Sturt arca. Every boy played footy and dr€amt ofbeing a Paul Bagshaw, Bob Shearman or Rick Davies. Secondly, I supportive teaching staffand particularly the studenrs fricn4 sportsmastcr Arihur Conon. Finaly, a clos€ knit group ofstudents, with pride in fieir school, *ho wcrc g€par€d to work hard together to create

The calalyst, which brought all of thes€ forces iogetber, was lhe appointm€ol of crahamDodd to the UHS teaching staff in 1968- Not a lot older rhan some of hjs students, and wirhArthur Cotton as mentor, Craham was rle on€ single person who fuew all of his considembleorganisational skills and energies into establishing rhe club. At rlat point Unley High studemsplayed deir footy at the school itsflf, with occasional gam€s and spons days held at theschool's 'second' groun4 Kingswood Oval.

BEGINNINGS

Perhaps a bit on Arrhur Co$on to set the sceoe. ArltrUI was a singlc man who was then in nlsmid 50's, and who placed high imponance on esrablishing mppofl atrd fti€ndship with h1sstudenrs. Apart ftom his sporrs role, he taught marhs and inteFstingly, was ajso an;x SANFLl€ague umpire. Anhur was a real character in rhe distict, and wai a resular ar the TorrcnsArms Hotel from many years (hence it becarm our first clubrooms. trecaui il was just as casyfor Anhur not to move fiom his rcgular s€at!). He was our first pftsidcnt, alwuy" encou*gr.gand suppodve, and a fathcr figue to many. AflhuI Cotton was a heavy smoke. and di€d ofcancer in 1979, and our legacy to his irvolvement is the A.A. Cotton Mcmorial HonourBoard.

Another teacher rpho is still a fricnd to many is Brian pcttman, who took over the presidencyfrom Anhur, then trcame insmrmcntal in sedng up the old scholars cricker club. He acruallyplayed a few games of footy for us, and had a spe€dboar called ..parasi!e',. John Halbert wasroped in to lend his name to the old scholars rs a Vice pr€sident, Anoiher to sDcnd countlesshourc a( fie srafl of 1970lo gct rhc club acnrally up and running was Grcg Cox.

School administation was very supportive of the old scholanr rigbr fmm the s&n, and offeredthe use of the school oval as a tempor?rJ home giound. As carly as 1969, Craham Doddrccalls approaching Mircham Council lo s€e if therc was ! possibility of using Kingswood asa home ground for 4 new old scholars side. [t took until 19?6 for this dream to becomc areality, ond the subsaquent consEuction of thc clubrooms came about largely becaus€ ..wewere sick of ddrking 6t rhe TA"!

Another big coup for rbe prlcposcd old scholars side was thc commitment gaincd from a groupof immcdiate past stu&trts.

In 1975 Graham Dodd Bob Jutan, Brian Pettrnan and others finalised negotiations to haveclubrooms built on Kingswood oval. Thc KiDgswood Sports and Social Club was form€d wiufoundiog clubs Unley High Old Scholars Football & Cdcket Clubs plus lhe Soutiem SuburosRugby Club. Our fusr game at Kingswood Oval was s€ason 1976, and ihis was a rujorexercise in negotiations with Mitcham Council and othe.s, and aD hisrorical achievement bvall thosc who worked tirclessly to develop the ground and facilirics w€ a1l take for erantedtoday. One of the lasr jobs was ro painr the concrere floor. which a few Deople remeriber ,"one of ihe last bigjobs, after which celebntions flowed and rhe sense oflriie suned to sinkhome. The late Bruce Miller was an enormous help on Councit to our club, and we are gladthat his son Tim and daughter Anthea bave b€eo amoDgst dF many people over rhe last 25years to enjoy these exceueni facilities. Lighting cosing $25m went up just b€fore rhe .77season. The new clubrooms were officially open€d by th€ mayor of Mitcham on 2tstNovember 19?6, and incolporated a picnidfun day for aI 3 formding clubs including avolleyball toumamenr and a Henley on Kingswood Regatta. What a fantastic project; whal afantastic debt we owe those p€ople with the foresight and hard work to make it hanoen.

The closereladonship once enjoycd has slowly bccn eroded ovcr tbe years, and ther€ havc b€en veryfcw modem cxamples of membcrs playing for tbtb clubs. G?dy ZErn holds the rarcdistinction of bcing lhe only life membcr of boah clubs. Geoff Reevcs. Anrus Redford andScott Br€nnan werc also fine cricketers for our co-tenants.

Kingswood Sports and Social Club has been thc combined body to administrrte the buildingsand grounds, alld the rhr€e main clubs these drys ale the crickct and foolbau clubs, plus thekorfballers.

National Bank Footbal Club took over as our ncxt major co-tcna s, joitring in the early1980's. One of Unley's best ever playeB Greg parker wcnt over to .Banks' as playing coach,and lhey had a grett d€al of success in those yeals, and cenairly had lhe wood on Unley mosttimes we clashed.

Kym Seade was another class player from NAB. Crallt Mahlo and Ricbard Villis have heapsof good mates at Unley.

And vhat about those korfballers. Through the brolher ard sist€r connection of phil Sibbonsand Julie Stewart the Roadies Korfball Club joined Kingswood in the mid 1980's. Thmughthe Roadies and the brealaway club Scaldis, we have been lucky enough to sign up alnost afull C grade ever since.

However because of defections fiomSAFA in the 1980 s, th€ standffd certainly tiffed in tbar time and €very year (panicularly thelate 1980's) seemed to see a new cx SAFA powerhousc placcd into A5 to play..amateur"football. The toughcst years werc whcn multiplc SAFA sidcs wcrc comidg through, e.g. lheTea Trcc Cully and Modblry ycar.

Tradilional rivals have come and gone oyer the years. Due lo lhe nature of rhe relegationsystem we seem to fight it out with a team for two or three yeals, then we don t see them foranother iwo or thrce ar least. By rhen, borh sides have changed to lhe extent that the rivalry rsdiminished. But hell, we had some clos€ and tense struggles with c€rtain teams almosr ev€ryhme we met. CBCOC is a good cas€ in poiDl; rhey were in 45 for nearly as long as Unley,and the games wcrc invariably closc.

Winds of Ghange

c live in a limc of changc, md an amarcur sponing club such as Unlcy simply mustcontinue to evolv. just to kccp up. Many ol thc changes that the club has becn through

have not becn wilhoul some pain. Not all decisions havc been the righr ones, but far and awaythe msjority hrve. lt is elsier lo list the things lhar have not chang€d ... our hom. ground, theclub song. and Murph's hairstyle are the only things thal spring ro mind.

The song has becn plrticulady hard lo budge. It is so.nnoying thar evcry second club sccmsto have "A Gmnd Old Flag', but after thc 1993 flag ir b€c.rDe tinged with a sp€cial nostalgi!for those fonunate enough to sing il rhar night (and sing it we did!). I b€lieve it was ceoffRaven that addcd the now immo.tal final vcrse .too lough, too stroog, . . . ctc. The rest of thoverse carnot be printed in a family publicdtion such as this, sufitce to say that it contains apowerftl and evocative sratement about the dcgrce of tal€nt within th€ team.

SpcakinS of change. what about the frrst ycar at Kingswood (19?6) $rlren we cbanged andshowcrcd il| the old greetl shed. Pcrtaps we all should have a bcttcr appreciation now of thegood facilities we now eljoy. On ar least three occasions lan Stewart, Da!ryt Smith and RodMoss respectivcly have led tcarhs that havc done rnountains of work to rcnovate mechangcrooms. Darcn Francis musr bc starting to hatc prcseason phone calls asking abour hiscarpcntry skills- Howcver, the most recent shift of Unl€y's rooms to the Nonhem end (by RodMoss and his team) has made the downstairs area tl|e bcst it has ev€r bcen.

UNLEY. WAY TO GO

(NB - Doesn't it makc you laugh to still b€ caled "collegc poofters" by some of the clubsfrom raditional blue colar arEas? Fmm clos€ observation. Dciltrer word seems veryapproPriate at unl€y).

The most visual item of change is the club guemsey. ln 1970 the team p.oudly stode onto thegroud in a magnifrccnt blu€ and brown stdp with a yellos/ 'V'. I guess tbe only way toexplain this combination is to say that it war the 70's, and one can only sunnise as to thesubstances imbibed by the original guerns€y d€signers, P€Ier Jam€s and John Oakshott. Thereis a terific photo of RoScr Brown in thc cluhooms weariDg rhis inauSural outfit but nranycan only vicw it whilc wcadng sunglasscs.

A morc conscrvative lnd common sensc look then held sway for founeen seasons (1975 to1988). The tri-panel look iook over with equal navy, whitc and light blue strips ... not bad butperhaps a little bodng. Many spcctators uscd to comment that we simply didn't look toughcnough, bul in those alays the guemsey was only pan of fte pioblem. Still, i! was reasonablypopular and many geat memories and images spring |o mind dudng thal era.

The year 1989 saw our resident dcsign expert Steve Locchcl launch an cntircly ncw gucmsey.while gre€ted with some €arly trepidation, it quickly bccamc the look that the club hadalways been se€king. Venical black and royal blue stdpes give o sirong and unique look.Many of us are amazcd that to the best of our knowledge it is the only guemsey of lhis dcsignin Australial

Co-inciding with this rcvolution in appcarance \r.s thc name, which has ov€rwhclrncd sllthings it thc club . . . TIIE JETS wcrc bom ! Thc mighty Jcts, bascd at Jet Park whcre Jct fcvcrrulcs. Stcvc and othcrs involvcd copped a deal of criticism at the time for this 'Americanizcd'namc. Prior to that it had only bccn thc 'Blucs': but from memory it ooly took about 3 gamcsuntil cvcry singlc playcr atrd supportcr was using it in full voice. These days, there sccnrs tobe a proliferation of tea$s callcd the Jels, but in little old Adelaide we were the first and theb€st. Bem Ste€r and Kev Anhur drew and skctched theii way into history with the logo whichis now on everylhing.

Hats, key rings, stubby holders, bumper stickers . . . tbe club has done them a.ll. Numerous teeshirts and windcheaters take pride and joy il| many a backyard shed mainly thes€ days ascleaning rags. The new-fangled rugby tops b€came all the ragc iD the l99O s and any currenthome game will see a fine colleclion of Jet panphemalia. The aforcm€nrioned Mr Arthur(along with Tim Myers) is Iargely rcsponsible for adding to the number of qu€stionable itemsin the modem era, footv trip lee shirt-s in particular. Th€ ultimare Uiley Football Clubcollector's item has to be the full collection of Old Homv Pons from ihe 1980 s. The lesswise collectors actually dranl the ruhbish!

Change occurs mainly due to new ideas and new people, and Unley has had an astonishingalroy of talented people over the yeals. One of rhe mosl incrcdible feals has b€€n simply tosurvive. We haven't had much suppon from UDley High since tlle mid 1970's, there is norcgular school feeder, and we don't run junior sides. Therc is no longer a true amateur league

Unley has had fantastic connections over thc y€ars with many country arcas. Num€rousplayers have originally hailed from towlrs likc Lameroo, G€ranium. yankalilla. pt Lincomand Wlyalla to narne a few. Not surprisingly, mrny of these play€.s also b€came some of ourgrcatest clubmeo.

TWo of rhe brothcrs (Andrew and Joni or Snow ond StirlinE if voupr€fer) attended Unley High S.hool in rhe t970's and becajn€ grcat friends with miny i.yfuture clubmcn.

UITLEY. WAY TO GO

Sp€aking of Darryl, his lime at Unley saw p€rhaF lh€ biggest changc in the 'tultule" andattitude of the club on thc ficld. Having mard€i Kerry Francis, Bucky told him that pan of thevows involved playing for Unley. With a 2m game plus SANFL carcer and numerous kne€operations bchind him, Darryl played 102 games from 1993 to 1998, and wc won around 7570of lhose games (an incrcdible r€cord). As a player in his first and last year and coach jn themiddle four Smithy often dcliberately drEw opposition aggr€ssion, ther€by letting others ljkeRaven. mtzner. Roamafl. Ashmead crcate havoc. The Smith cm has becn olrl most successfulperiod to date.

Perks Assoc (Accountanrs) havc had Andy t r, Simon Black, Matt Stoban, Matt Abbott, and3 of the directors even had a kick and filled in during 1994. F.om other clu& we have had thegolden voice of Michael Crispc, 'Pluggei' Valcnic and Carth Dodd from Fitzroy, and ShaneParslow, Danny Norton, Ben Newbold, & rhe Abbott bmthers from Plympton. Several of ourplayers started their carc€rs at Blackeood bcforc wcnding their way down the hill. From rheaflny we have had Peter Thomrs, Stcvc Harris, John SaunderB, Shane Johnsson aod 1996premierohip playcr Tony Thompson. It would be fair to say Unley has dragged them fiom

No history of Unley would bc complctc wilhoot soDrc rDcntion of merger talks. Vague ralkswith St Raphacls circa l9E0led to nolhing. Dudng Col Fairchild's l99l and'92 presidencythe club *,as probably at it's lowest in terlr|s of suppon slaff, and the inr€rest in merging cameto the forcfront again. Glenunga wcrc onc club with whom inforrnal talks weie held in 1991.

Four ycars latcr, at the cnd of 1995, the club rcccivcd a morc official approach from thccornmittec of the Glenunga Football Club to consider a merger. Thc rc-dcvclopmcnt of thcGlcnunga HS would see them probably having acccss to a large capital sum of moncy whichthcy cnvisagcd bcing put towiud a new inner south-eastcm suburb supcr club. Clcnunga scommittc€ at the time seemcd an imprcssivc group of busincssmcn with a strong vision forthe futurc. Several s€nior Unley people began a plan, which then bccamc a mcrgcr proposaldocument. Some other Unley members strongly oppos€d $e suggesrion. One concem was theproblems our players had with some of the Inor€ notorious culrcnt Clenunga playeK. A wholemnge of issues were covered in the merger proposal. with thc main theme being that Unleymay not survive in thc long tenn as a st4nd alone amatcul club.

ln late 1995 an extnordinary mc.ting of members was held in the clutr.oorN. lt was chairedby then k€sidcnt Matt Schulz, with Fes€otations ftom mcrger advocale Nigel Koschade andpassionaE opponent John Eddy (aU Ufc Mcmbds).

Howev€r the input fiom John, Nigel and orhen was so worlhwhile (even inspirational) that itcr€ated a strong aum of change around the Jets. New players 1lere rccruited left right andcentre, sponsors came lo us.

Social Life

f I nley has quite simply b€en the besr social club thar many of us havc evcr bccn involved\.,, with. In tie period from l9?0 !o 1982, thc social activiries relatcd hcrain arc as told by anumber of completely rcliable and trustwonhy eyewitness€s. Fonunately, hom l9E2 we bav€the even more reliablc accounb of rhe club's underground cult magazin., tsalls Up' (BtD, Formany years, this finc publication jusa tumcd up at thc bar on o Thursday night; ineverent, rudeand untraceable. Th. 's€crct Bells Up headquanen" have t€Inained unlocated to this day, andthe editor h..s never bccn identified beyond re.soneblc doubr. Th€ leg€nd has $own to thestage where it! sourc€s hdve taken on a grey and murky blckgrourd, much like the Phantomond Bdtman chancte.s of fiction.

BU has itscu spawncd scvcral charac&rs of fictioD; Alfrcd thc Zucchioi, Farry Bryar, andSupcrdrewer just to mentioD a f€w. In fact Alfr€d became so real fo. a f€w yeals that he has aclub medal named in his honour. Any player voted Best On Ground' in a pr€miership isawardcd thc Alfrcd Medrl, and no great€r honou. can ever comc your w6y at Unlcy. Sinccbcing introduced in 1994, therc have be€n only two winoersi Ardy k€ and Cary Mccuirc.l-egends both! Thanks !o t u Kompo, Sco! Brcnnan, Paul Mead, Sid Daly. Cam Bcst andkigh hior for contributing sofirc incr€dibly firnny stuff to Balls Up over thc ycars.

Potentially the biggcst ever Unlcy social evcdt was bcld in our lirst year (19?0) on the 29nAugust at lhc YMCA North Mclaid€. We bookcd a rcd hot ncw band called R€d AngclPanic, soon to becone Ttrc Atrgcls! Doddy prcmis€d tb€m a bug€ clowd. Unfonunatclyhardly anyone tumed up, and I believe that we can take some credit ior lhosc famous wordsallegedly unered by the band to Graham as they packed up .-. "can I never ever s€e your faceagain". With a bit of rc-i{ordin& Unley High Old Scholars F.C. may have had a hand lncreating the subsequent huge hit.

SOCIAL LITE

hior to the club's r€gular appcamnccs in fuafs (prc 1993), :mother grcar honou was thebfamous D.O.Y. award. Starting iD the early 1980's votes were cast each week on a 3.2.1basis for tie biggest drunk of the week. This may not Eflect so well on rhe club these days,but back then it was hotly conrested to say the le3st- players and supporr€rs comfreted keenly,and the event culminated in an end of year Drunk Of The Year .medal' count. Althoughperhaps nor r carcer highlighr, D.O.Y. canied I certain amount of Aussie mal€ prestige rhatcould only be appr€ciated at a club like Unley. To s3y that the club enjoyed a drinl in theI970's and 1980's would be an undersratcm€nl; it is neally impossible to r€cau a non-drinkerfrom that pciod. Paul Morris holds the enviable rccord as the only multiple D.O.y. winncr.This culturE was incredibly ftusEating to our had u,orhng coaches and administrators. paulKloeden Snr was a very dedicared Pr€sident $ho was heartbroken onc nighl to find that thecheers for his slEech were in fact for a wicket that had fallcn in a crucial one dayer on the TVbehind his head!

Many teafi announcements havc b€cn delayed whil€ waiting for Morry and others to finish aquick smoke downsiairs dtcr training. Kcnlcwell, Hamster, Morgs, Pottsey all enjoyedMony's company at these dmcs.

Wldle on rhc subjert of Thursday nights, they werE anothe. huge Oadirion from the eatly days.Licensing laws were treatcd *ith a complete hck of resp€ct, and it was not unusual for lrgroup of stoyers to 6nish up after 2:00 am, and sdll take a six pock for the drive into thePulteney Pizza Ba. or El Dorado's. Many of our rop players had their biggcst nights out onThursdays and Fridays, and our ordinaw A gradc rcsults for the first two decades are almos!certainly not co-iocidental to tlle hcavy cmphasis placed on a strong Thursday nightperformancc! Who rEmembcrs a couple of bizarrc games called .,Bungo" and ..Woolly's nndWheadc$"? So keen werc our play€rs to hav€ thcir own bar, the club was open every night forthe first wcck it opercd. A prcccdcot for hcavily supporting the Kingswood facilities had b€cnestablishcd !

The social events have been fantastically varied and eventfrrl. If you were around before 1985you must have a favourire po( botrling, progr€ssive tea or car rally, o. gentleman s gambfingevening. (A 'Drinkathon in 1979 has taken on the epic sratus of a Woodstock. you had towitncss Ceoff Reeves 34 schooners in two hours to believ€ it - and he didnt even tkow uD.)A pig on a spit show at Schulz and Brooker's place in | 981 was another big day.

Serg€'s Ca-sino was a gambling evcnt not ro be missed in th€ early and mid l97o's. Fakemoney was us€d, and Karl Savilla was in full cry. Drink &iving laws took care of a lor of cruomembe$ and sp€lt the €nd for many of rhcse gPes of shows. In lhe r€s€arch for this book irwa_s amazing bow many peoplc rcmedbercd a particular Homdale Winery pon bonling on| 8'' Ju ly | 982. Jan Stanes, Jeff rrr€wer, Paul Coon€y, ,nd C,eoff Re€ves (what an ugty crew)all play€d wetl on the same day, and the results were entertaining ta say the least. Isn't it greatto regurgitale such charming memories. The pr€vious year had b€en pauline Oao and philCox' s turn and therc was also a very nasry one at Belair National Park featuring cus Whiteas chief winemaker that is best forsotten.

Teams of theDecade

Thcsc g ys arl thc best of tbe best and ir k a grar honour to benamed as onc of the {inest players at the club. Dual nomincas have been Tony Rcddcn, IanJohnston, Ian Slewar( Tony Fry, Craham Muphy and Davc mEncr. ln addition to the mosrprololged care€r rEcord fiEntioned in the prcvious chapter, creg Parker hasastonishing Unley record of being the only player nominated in all lhrec Teams of Th€

lne

Decade!! All teams arc placed in order with d|e te.m kicking up.

It is oft€n arked what makes a player cxceptional. What t k s a playcr to the next level? Thereis no defrnitive answer but it is panicutarly obvious that natural ability .nd r high skill levelare an essential ing&dicnt. However, all football clubs atrd Unley is no exccption, have hadplayeN with heaps of ability and skiUs who have rct tr&eo th€ Dext st€p. So what els€ is it lhats€ts the exceptional apafi from the rcst? If thc tcams of thc decadc a& amlysed i! would haveto b€ mental loughness. Therc is not a player amongst those sclcctcd in €ach team of thedecade that hasnt displayed that toughoess w€ek in and we€k out. These are ft€ players thatwill do the job withour fuss, who will have a go rc matter what the conditions or the scoieand above all they have the faith ro believe in tbeir owD ability.

Finally, the authors have picked their own besl team ever, but this is purely our ownsubjective opinior. All opinions would be differ€nl but we ar€ sur€ you would agrc€ that thefollowing thiny year team would be an anazine sigtrt.

everyone that has ever wo.k€d in th€ cantecr! panicularly thos€ ladies that did it year in y{out until babies or hypothermia set in, whichever carne first. Jan Stancs, pauline Cox, B€tryMorison, Carol Fairchild, Denise Schutz:, Dawn DrEwer, Caroline Monis, Jenny Mead.Margarct Best, Judy Francis were just some of those who did dEir fair share. ard ma;v nameswill have been missed in cven mcndoning canrectr helpers. JuIe Skwan did a mountain ofwork for the club throuSh the 80's; and (amongsr many other lhings) will always be wellrespected by all at Unlcy for her efforts in cstablishing the Roadies Korfball Club arKingswood.

The last ten years have se€n a continuation of thcse fantastic club women, Vicki Stewastaned as assistant Fainer, then head irainer and finally connnittee member. One of Vicki.s8r€at legecies has be€n the atrnual Lrdies Day: a bit of a champagnc and deck chair frenzyinrr'ari.bly held on a pristine Jet Park cloudless day. Jane pfitzne. has ftcently resigned as oneof the cqual longcst s.rving secrchries and leavcs huge shoes for sorne token m.l. lo fill (th.twould b€ Steve Kem), and a dch of gatitudc from Unley that has given her good friends

'Hclpcrs' have not just b€en thosc pr€sent at thc gan€s. As Bob Julian wrorc in the 1975Secrclary's rcpon "wo owc ollr existcncc to thc usc of lhcsc grounds (Unley High Schoorr,and thc co-oFcration rcceivcd from the Headmastcra and their staff durine thcsc vcars hasenablcd us to progrcss to our F€scnt position." Anorhcr hiddcn bunch of hilpers has alwavstrecn rhc social club. Thcsc pcoplc oft.n r€ccived linlc rccognirioq but at rhe risk of offcndingby omission, hcr€ is a short li6r of pcople who put in many hours plnnning social cvents overthe yclls ...

Gurrent Day

D rcpantion of this book has ra}€n placc mainly over the summer of I 999/2mO, and we areI mindful of fie iacr that by rhe rirne it gocs to print. hisrory will ateady be re-writtcn andcrcated by the curEnt rcpresenralives of dlc mighty Jels. Ar rhc timc of \lriting, Rod Moss hasgencmted a huge amount of new enthusiasrn in his firsr year as Prcsident. Incidentdly, Rod isone of very few pcoplc to become Pr€sid€nt dJfur receiving his Life Membcrsbip; cenainly agood sign for the club to havc a strong cxpcrienced adminisoalion which is quitc scparate tothc players (unlike thc carly days). A Jers website has even bccn spoken about, and how basicwill this technology look in another 30 years?

Don Hawkins and Johtr Eltott aft two very bard working coruni(e€ rEmbcrs who areun!.kely to be cdled oo !o play many more garnes. Plus thc professional business back$oundthey bring to our Committee is n hugc boous. Napier cryst and Steve Kem arc scnior play€rs,who are gcftiDg iovolved, and we need one or two mor€ €very year in tbe hop€ some of thecorDmittee will stay involved for fivc years or mor€. This is oDe of the r€al keys to a stableadministration and a stable club.

Senior coach Da[€n Fmncis has worted lir€lessly to introduce new young playe.s into theA s. A lot of suppon ard help is provided by ceoff Raven, Mick Mezzino and currenr skippcrMark Elliou. On 5o May this year, the A's showed what th€y arc capabl€ of wttl one oi tlegreatest quaders of football in ihe club's listory. Phyiog top and undef€ated side SalisburyWest, we kicked ten goals to nil itr atl $tonishiDg second quaner. Thc resultant win was great,but the potentid u.leashed by the coaching staff was scary-

So the final message is, ke€p coming out to watch. even if you can only g€t to the occasionalgame. You will continue to be made welconc ar Udey wetl pasr your us€-by-date as a player.On a day like th€ 5' May 2000, cveryrhing is perfect. The oval, th clubrooms, lhe hills in thebact€round, some top sledging, and the mighty Jers going st onger than €ver!

Did we win? You bet we did.

Honour Roll

T n I 979 an Honour Board \ras i ncluded as deco.ation for rhe Seventies - Team of the DecadeI presenration. The board consisted of a lbw handl^,'inen lines on scmp paper proclaiming thePresidents, Secretrrjes, Trcasurrrs and A grade Coaches for rhe pas! decade. Th€rc has been anobvious progression to a more pcmonent bo$d (which, at the time of writing is looking somewhattired) and lhere is now ! sepu e Life Members board (complete with misspelling). However thisup front list of UFC people pain6 only a vcry small piclurc of thc Club Members who des€rvcrecognition for all mann€r of'honours' achicvcd throughout rhe last thirty years. Whilst th€rc isnever enough money or wall space to adequately display all those des€rved of recognition it ishoped this section of the book will provide the necessary forum.

There are two sections to lhis chaptel the first being simply to list the p€ople who have raken anactive role in the continuing progrcssion of th€ Club through lhe years by being activ€ borh on andoff the field. These irclude the Life Members, rhe Club Persons of thcYear. the full Committeemembers and the te3m Coaches aod Captains.

The second scction deals with the on-field honours and awards that have been bestowcd upon theUnley playels. They include SA Amateur t ague Medallists, SA Amateur League IradingGoaikickers, Club Best and Fairest awards and Club lradins coalkickers.

For the Record

T hiny some$ing years ago affer the siren sounded on thc first UFC game. the playersI unloowingly staned r slatistical nighEnarE. The only rccord of lhat game (and most

others up to 1982) was thc Amatcur kaguc tcam shcct and l€ts face it, who really cared. Thetimc wos for thc p.cscnt and not for rccording dctails for posterity. The number of games andthe number of goals kicked could be worked out at thc cnd of the ycar and then the teambooks could b€ put awry in a cupboard to gather dust or wors. to conldbulc to the landfill atWingficld.

As the yca$ passcd aDd we had morE than one lcam in rh€ Lcagu€. in hindsight ir would havebeen exremely beneficial to keep the derails of who played for what team. the goalkickers pergame and even dare we say it the ac(ual scor€. Sufficc to say tbis didn'l hlpp€n and if itwasn't for Nigel Koschades' tnsty yearly garnes aod goals we would have no individualplayer records betbrc 1988. The only reason we have as much information as we do,panicularly with regard to individual goal kicking feats is due to the publication of the earlyresults in the sunday Mail and lhe publicaaion of Balls Up. The advcnr of Ba[s Up in 1982whiis! pmviding everyone with an enormous amouot of ente(arnm€nt has unwittingly giv€nus a vehicle to record the results, goal kickers and besl playerc. Il is one of the few tragediesof the 30 year hislory that lhis fine radition has disappeargt. ln facl as th€ dissernination (vraa Club newsletter) of weekly rcsults, stories, rumours and barefaced lies disappears, so toodoes much of the camaraderie and feeling of belonging to one big €rt€nded family.

The advent of personal computers has cenarnly h€lp€d the collltion of the weekly statistics,although it is still sornetimes difficult to include all lhe infonnation if the game day personneldo not record it. Be that as it may, the accu€cy of the infonnatron as prernted, whilst never100% is as good as it is probably going to get. There will be sorr players who may feel thalth€ games and goals lisred do not tally with thele own totak. $y'hilst it is inevitable, w€ hope itwill b€ the exception rather thar the rul€. If it is any consolation Paul Morris has had the

rcugh end of ahe pineapple on mor€ tfian one occasion regarding his p€rsonal sratistics (sorryPaul!) and has lived to tell lhe rale-

Statisrics, lo many p€ople. mean v€ry little except to those who happ€n to get their name Inpdnr. ln many cases this is t ue, however they can present a brief gtimpse of the extraordinary(and sometimes very ordinary) fears of play€rs and teams and s€wes as a reminder of aanrlspast and sets goals for games in the futurc. It is a livrng documenl and changes every ;crchand is often out of date as soon ds it is wdtren. Th€ statisrics thdt fo|ow dlaw the line in rh€sand at thirty seasons, but the numbcrs will of cours€ changc, as we move cvet onn,ards.

Thanks to all who have helped to faithfully record the gamc details €tc and obviously to theplayers who have pulled on th€ir boots, for withour them Bem would have had nothins lo alofor lhc last l2 !ean.

This chapter tikes a snapshot approach to rhe minor rounds by listing the best and worstperformances, ihe one point wins, the &aws and the one point losses.

Thc years that Unley compcted in thc finals arc included as arc lhe Granal Final andPremiership playcrs.

The individuol player records give tlrc many aDd varied personal milestones and lchievemenBthat come wifi playing foory. They include the players who have played rhe most games,kicked $e most goals and those rhat havc kicked the mosl while playing the most.
