Anything to do with the history of the SANFL

Yep there were Modras up around Freeling, they certainly weren't of Italian origin. Interestingly the surname Costello is of Irish origin and where I lived in Kapunda as a kid was pronounced COSTLOW. You can't assume that names eding in a,i or o are necessarily Italian.

So that rules out former West Adelaide star Stan Costello.

The Irish name 'Costello' was derived from the Spanish name 'Castillo'
due to the wreck of the Spanish Armada off Ireland's West Coast back in the 1600's
where the survivors scrambled to shore & intermingled with the local indigenous population...



Bit of a history lesson...
I thought this was a footy site!!!! :?
