Peter Foster. And Tim Pekin. Gerard Foley who played a few games with Fitzroy in the 80's. Jonathan Simpkin. Should have been a lot more but Fitzroy weren't that active in their zone.
That Coodabeens interview with Gary Steele was hilarious. I'd never heard of the guy. I think he played 6 games. He's now living in South Korea. But he was one of those guys that were just not into footy. He was part of the deal that got Peter Featherby to the dogs.
He apparently was very talented but when he got to his club in WA(I think he said David Parkin was his coach) just didn't like the training and told Parko it wasn't for him and set off around Australia.
Throughout the interview he laughed a lot and it was obvious he knew very little about what a good footballer Featherby became or any other footballers for that matter. Very nonchalant! The movie 'The Club' could have been based on him.
