He grew up in the football village of Balgownie and it is here that his football career started at Balgownie Public School.
After a period of time Walter then played fullback with the historic Balgownie Club in U14s and in U16s. Although he wanted to play in the goalkeeper position like his idol and big brother Victor, Walter was highly successful in representing his district and state at fullback in junior representative teams.
Walter joined Woonona-Bulli in the State League as a 17 year old in 1955. He broke into the first team that year playing nine games as a defender. Astoundingly in 1956 Walter then became the first grade goalkeeper for Woonona-Bulli, an amazing transition, which fulfilled his ambition of playing in goals. In 1957 and 1958 he continued to play for Woonona-Bulli, however in 1959 he re-joined his hometown club Balgownie in state league and played here until 1962.
After a year off in 1963 Walter then played goalkeeper at Helensburgh, Wollongong Olympic, Coledale and lastly with Fairy Meadow where he retired in 1971. In 1972 he became a referee in the IDSA competitions and did this for a year. In 1977 he joined the Fairy Meadow SC as a committee member. Walter was with Fairy Meadow until 1986 and he was a large part of their success in the late 1970s in the IDSA competition and in the 1980s in the NSW State league competitions. Plus I briefly speak to Walter about coaching his son and other players at Balgownie Junior Soccer Club.
I appreciated the opportunity to record and listen to Walter’s football journey. I have sincere respect and thanks for the time Walter gave up to do this interview and for allowing me into his home. And I must thank Walter’s son John for setting up the interview and for transferring 1950s Illawarra football film into digital files.

With repetition, skill and perseverance, Rade then made his way into Bitola’s Transkop Football Club, which played against teams from all parts of Yugoslavia.
In 1981 he received a phone call from his Aunty in Australia which changed his life trajectory and in that year he came out to Australia for a new opportunity and to play football with Wollongong Macedonia in the 2nd tier of the NSW State League. In the next 20 years Rade then made a name for himself in the National Soccer League, NSW State League and Illawarra Premier League. Most notably he was part of the highly successful Wollongong City Wolves team who won the double in the NSW State League in 1987 and won the 1988 NSL league championship.

Allan started playing football in the streets of Dundee and at Ann Street Primary School in the 1950s. In these early years Allan would go and watch Dundee at Dens Park when they played midweek and even went by himself to watch Dundee against Rangers in the 1963-64 Scottish Cup Final at Hampden Park with 120,000 other supporters.
In his teenage years Allan played in school, youth club and representative football teams. After he left school he joined Kirriemuir Thistle FC and was training with East Fife FC. And it was at this point in his life he saw a newspaper article about Safeway United’s manager and Dundee local Jim Harris that changed his life. In the article Jim Harris said if any footballers were interested in coming to Australia then they should contact Jim. Allan contacted Jim and in the space of 10 days his Australian adventure had begun.
I appreciated the opportunity to record and listen to Allan’s football experiences. I have sincere appreciation, respect and thanks for the time Allan spent in driving down from Singleton to Corrimal to record this interview. Please enjoy episode 74!

This interview was conducted a while ago via Billy’s son Greg who I must sincerely thank for setting this interview up. This interview with Billy is fantastic in many ways and as Billy was humble about his success on the football field, I have added further details about his junior and senior football exploits from newspaper articles and other documents to demonstrate the career Billy Williams had in the Illawarra and for his region, state and country.
In my humble opinion Billy would be “one of the” top ten Illawarra football players in the 1950s, so to get a few of his memories and thoughts was fantastic. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to record and listen to some of Billy’s football experiences. I have immense appreciation and thanks for the time Billy gave up in recording this interview and further thanks must go to Andrew Howe, Greg Stock, Mark Boric and Doug Butcher for the statistics I have used in this podcast.

And on this note I must apologise as I did not ask Peter about this topic in the interview, so at the 20 minute mark I have added in a further mobile interview with Peter on his junior representative career.
After having a period of time away from the game after junior football, Peter joined the senior ranks in 1979 with Fernhill Soccer Club and stayed with this club for his whole career. Peter is a humble man who played for his club and fellow team mates. It is clear he has a genuine passion for the game and his club Fernhill.
Widely regarded and respected at his club and around the Illawarra, it was phenomenal to hear Peter thought’s on his time in the game, in particular the people at Fernhill. Peter has experienced the joy of being a one club man and is still involved at the club today.

For the next three decades Robert as a player, coach and administrator was a part of many clubs and many special moments in Illawarra and in Australian football.
Robert has experienced the full set of emotions in his football life and at the heart of it all he is grateful and respectful of the game. He is competitive and disciplined but more importantly understands the connection that clubs have to their communities and the friendships that are developed at clubs.
I enjoyed immensely recording and listening to Robert’s time in the game as he has had a wide array of experiences.
