Did you know that Ray Buckley (Nathan's father) became Woodville Football Club's first player Life Member of the SANFL in 1973 after playing only 70 games?

As a National Serviceman he was credited with 75% of the matches he missed in two years with the Army.

The normal SANFL Life Membership qualification at the time was 100 games over 10 seasons.
