BELL PARK FOOTBALL CLUB
HISTORY-THE EARLY YEARS
As delivered by Don (the Squire) McAdam on the night of Team of
Century 28/04/01
Good evening, my name is Don McAdam and I started playing with Bell Park
in 1960 at age 15.
I have been given the honour of presenting to you tonight the early history and
subsequent memories of our club throughout the 60’s to the early 70’s and I
sincerely appreciate the opportunity.
Players, wives, committee, supporters and any one who was involved in the
club during that period up to 1970, I would ask you all to stand so members
during the past 31 years can applaud your role in the formation and growth of
our club. Lorna (Gillett) sends her apology from Herney Bay.
Bob Dylan recently won an Oscar for his song “Things Have Changed” well,
they certainly have around Bell Park since 1958.
The club was established through the community Progress Association,
anxious to provide sporting facilities for youngsters in a new suburb. Meetings
were held and an U15 team was formed in 1958, closely followed by U18’s
and a senior team. The family names that were involved in the early days are
entrenched in the history and growth of the Bell Park Football Club.
I will endeavour to put forth some of their names:- Max Knight, Eric Lynch,
Tony Balkin, Chris O’Shea Peter Jansen, Iva, Lorna & Dave Gillett, Joe
Grinter, Barney & Mavis Barling, George Jarvis, Norm Hisshion, Joe Arundal,
John Daniels, Mick Robinson, Wally McEwan, Frank Drayton Snr & Jnr, Alfie
Dwyer, Edy Johnston, Rat Ettridge, Martin Storm, Jim Fairbrother and many
others who are here tonight. My apologies for not mentioning you all.
To all involved I say thank you on behalf of us who played back then. You
gave us an opportunity in life to play competitive football which in turn
provided us with life long friendships, marriages, partnerships and
premierships.
The sixties was Johnny O’Keefe, Elvis, Ted Whitten, Polly Farmer, Johnny
Famechon, Lional Rose, Rod Laver and Herb Elliot.
Ford V8’s, F.J’s, Morris Minors and Push Bikes were the go. Bob Menzies
was Prime Minister and Bob Davis coached Geelong to a rare flag in 1963.
Gordon Hynes played on the Half Forward Flank and Eric Nicholls played in
the reserves premiership.
The blokes wore corduroys, desert boots and duffel coats and if you smoked a
pipe you were a hippie. the Vietnam war broke out.
The girls wore twin sets, pleated skirts, anti theft bras, cotton tails and those
finger crushers- step-ins. Just ask Brian Lewis, we had to give him lessons.
The country side around the footy ground was windswept paddocks, box thorn
hedges, dirt roads, Herne Hill State School and Geelong West Tech.
The Corio Shire built the clubrooms and a corrugated iron toilet block at the
rear. The ground was a little worse than now, basically a paddock and I am still
buggered if I know why the thing can’t be extended
30 metres and levelled out after all these years.
There were 3 divisions of senior footy, Hurst Cup, Woolworth Cup and
Jarman Cup. The seniors were admitted to the Jarman cup in 1960 and the
teams played were:- Stonehaven, Lethbridge. Anakie, Drysdale, Torquay,
Norlane and North Shore. Eric Lynch was under 15 coach, Mick Robinson
U18’s and John Daniels was the senior coach
That was our club, That’s how it started.
Allow me to take you to training on a cold June Tuesday night and the lead up
to a game next Saturday. Lets say 1963.
You’d roll up to training, probably on your bike and go to get into the rooms,
but the bloody door would be locked, so we change into our gear at the back
of the rooms. Some dickhead didn’t return the key to Mrs Barling, the
caretaker, and she would get really pissed off. No one was game to front her
for the key, but we usually sucked Graeme Boardman in to eventually go and
front her. Gift of the gab.
Out you’d go, 4 laps to warm up, freezing cold wind, mudheap of a ground, 2
old footies for kick to kick until the fog came down or it got dark. No
showers, no lights and ride home in the dark.
If you had a corky or a bruise you reported to Norm Hisshion who “borrowed”
the cement works ray lamp.
The first aid room was “the camp”, washing soda a knee brace and iodex. The
stretcher hidden
What might you young ones say is IODEX. Well tomorrow morning at
breakfast, roll your trouser leg up and smear it with vegemite. Get a desk
lamp and plug in a 150W lamp and you’ll discover how iodex used to soothe
all our bruises and sprains.
The coach one night was looking for big Macka (Peter McIntyre) not a great
trainer the old Macka. We go into the rooms looking for him and here he is
sprawled out under the ray lamp, working on his tan like a bloody big Goanna.
Fair dinkum you won’t believe me but he asked us for a plate of birds eggs.
Friday you’d buy the Geelong Addy for the teams and Saturdays for the
engagements, the girls were usually smart enough not to arrange weddings in
footy season.
Off to the game Saturday, pay your money to the manager (scrooge) so the
umpires could be paid. Fair dinkum- how things have changed.
Play your heart out, have a beer and race home to listen to the district results
on 3GL, the Harry F Winneray Sports Show.
Once that major responsibility was performed, off to the pictures or the palais
for the dance. Usually we’d all meet at the T & G corner
Monday you’d buy the Addy for all the game details That’s about all the addy
was good for. Still is.
Mid year we’d have a dance or two in the clubrooms and of course the annual
ball and piss-up Aberdeen House.
Success came quickly to the club with an U18 flag in 1961. We beat Norlane
at Kardinia Park (Shell Stadium) in wet conditions, much the same as last
Sunday. Mick Robinson was coach, I was the captain and Brian Grinter vice
captain. Players included:- Macka, Feathers,Ted Wolak, Geoff Barnes, Ray
Gillett and Milton Tattersall
The seniors were strengthened by Under 18’s. The Under 15’s and 18’s
continued to win flags throughout the 60’s.
Bell Park was starting to emerge as the club with potential. Frank Murphy, ex
Geelong reserves player was appointed coach, Macka went to Tassie to play
with Sandy Bay, I went to Geelong West in the V.F.A where I met up with
Eric Nicholls who was the then coach.
Eric joined Bell Park in 1967 as coach and the senior team made the finals in
1968. Eric, Brian Lewis and myself were selected on a fairly regular basis to
represent the G.F.L . Bell Park had good representation.
The club was now recognised for producing good youngsters and attracting
experienced players.
Wally McEwan coached our 1st ever senior flag in 1969 and I with back to
back in 1970
Bell Park was on the threshold of greater success which I shall leave to others
to advise.
FLASH BACK MEMORIES.
