Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

1969

“North's Terry Flint has resigned but has intimated he will continue on as a player, while Parkside’s
Lindsay Murphy has also decided to quit after five years.

Murphy 34 feels he's getting too old for football, but he would still be a very valuable player in FDL
ranks. An experienced ruckman - he played 120 games with Williamstown, he has led Parks to a
premiership and a runners- up in his five years with the club and is one of the FDL's best known
identities.

Geoff Rees has won Parks best and fairest award from Leo Daglish and Ron Sheppard.”

The Mail, August 1969

“Parkside Under 16's win their first game for two and a half seasons against North Footscray last
Saturday and the win is all the more meritorious because they had only 16 men. --

Captain of the side is Gary Johnstone, who won the club's Under 16 best and fairest trophy last year
and they have a most promising ruckman in Ron McGregor. Coach is Graeme "Hooker" Wright.”

“Two youngsters who show enough potential to perhaps follow in their father's footsteps one day
are Dale Murphy and Stephen Cross. Dale, 10, and Stephen 12, are the sons of Parkside captain coach
and former Williamstown footballer Lindsay Murphy and former Parkside and Footscray goalsneak
