I had the misfortune to play against Yarraville at Yaraville in their first home and away game after David Thorpe(Cap-Coach), managed to get big dollars from the local car distributor to finance his team.
About 10,000 turned up for the game.
They accumulated a great side of ex VFL players at the time
David Thorpe
George Bissett
Pat Wellington
Gary Merrington
Stuart Magee
Charly Pagnoccolo
Froggy
Can't remember the game that well but we got thumped.
