Coach: Mal Brown, and I'm sure he won't apologize for not being Croatian.

George Grljusich - a legendary radio commentator of Croatian heritage famous for his Saturday morning sports programme on 6PR during the 1990s. To the amazement of many he later reinvented himself as a competent commentator of Perth Glory home games. A real character who is sorely missed by those who knew him and by those who didn't but who loved his programme. You can read my tribute to George on this website.

  1. Legends all.
    Watched some of them play for Cockburn Ex Scholars and Cockburn Sunday League at Davilak Oval in the 60s.
    Budi Sumich could kick the ball a country mile.
