SA Footy

If anyone can help with a where-abouts for any of these players - a number or address, could you let me know below or PM me. These are the only WAFC players I don't have a DOB for from 1970. I plan to do the same for other club in the future so we can nail youngest, oldest debutantes. After 1970 to present is done, I'll have a go at the 1960's decade etc...

I can't help you other than to query David Flavel. I always thought that the player who played for West and before that Norwood was Des Flavel the same name as the TV producer.

Also I believe Greg Hewitt was the son of famous Adelaide character "Dasher Hewitt". A number of footballers called Hewitt (Hewett) were known as Dasher, but Greg was the son of the original, who I don't believe played footy. If it helps at all, Dasher Hewitt lived in the City, near Whitmore Square so that may help if you have access to BDM records.

Michael Barry, I think came from the South East, but that is all I can offer there.

Robert Karutz was a local player.

Thanks mate - gives me a few leads to follow

Des Pilkington I think he ended up playing for Flinders Park in the SAFA in the early days in the late 70's when it was required viewing Sunday afternoons

Thanks Fourth Estate - Got a phone number to try tomorrow for him and Andrew Ryan -

I might be wrong with Flavel's name - He may be the norwood player Desmond not David.

Andrew Ryan found - Thanks Bob for the PM - You were right on the money! One less to find


Looks Like Rob Karutz may live in NSW - on the trail!

Des Pilkingtons details now added - born 1947
Edward Liddy - Lives in NT - details confirmed
Hans Heystraten - Lives QLD - details confirmed


Have a lead on Greg Sheehan - Tasmania (Ex Devonport FC)
Have a lead on Robert Karutz (NSW Gosford - no hone number yet?)
Have a number for Flavel to try tomorrow


Cheers again all

Des Flavel played for Norwood and David Flavel is West Adelaide - Spoke to Des confirming they are related

Found out David lives in Qld - slowly tracking him down!


Ardian Storch found - Convayencer in Sydney
Gregory Croser - lives in the ACT

Thanks to the enormous help from people on this and the WAFC forum - Below is an update of every missing player for WAFC from 1940. Not many in the scheme of things. Found all but three from the list above so far...

Any help much appreciated

There was a Mike Leske who was acting Principal at
Tatachilla Lutheran College Tatachilla Rd PO Box 175 McLaren Vale SA 5171 Ph 8323 9588 Fax 8323 9788 in 2012
not sure if its the same one? They may be able to forward your details

Good idea Kempey - will have a go and see what happens!

I'm guessing that the Peter J Milsom listed is the Peter Milsom who is father of ex West player, David Milsom.

Peter is currently President of Mannum Football Club, and a google search indicates he is a councillor at the local District Council.

You could perhaps attempt contact through the Mannum FC website, to ascertain if it is the same Peter Milsom you are seeking http://www.sportingpulse.com/club_info. ... sID=127194

Thanks GWW - spoke to Peter and confirmed all of his details last night

Down to 15
Any suggestions good football folk out there!

Jack Muller found - 14 to Go!
I didnt realise he was related to Kenton Muller - Another father son link

T Morris - confirmed as deceased - details obtained

Ray Mahoney - Deceased - awaiting DOB/DOD from his son

I think Don Oliver may have played at North Adelaide in the early 80s ish .
