Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
Handicapped Parkside had a great year!
“Four Parkside teams got in the finals despite the club's handicap — it has not been able to playon
home ground (Henry Turner reserve) for three years and floods forced it off its temporary ground
(Footscray Park) this season.
Two sides — the under 17s and under 15s won premierships. The flag winnere were coached by
former Williamstown players Lyndsay Murphy (under 15’s) and Bobby Turner (under 17’s). Parkside's
success story doesn't end there.
Two club members Herb Pascari and Brian Rickards became life governors of the Royal Children's
Hospital last week.
The club has raised more than $2000 for the hospital.
The club — one of the oldest in the western suburbs — looks to more success when improvements to
its home ground are finished.”
The Mail, September 1975
Teachers at Footscray Technical School are prepared to take strike action over the takeover of the
school by Footscray Institute of Technology (Victoria University – Footscray Park campus).
The school’s parent-staff action committee was formed to oppose the takeover until the 800 pupil-
school is relocated in a new building.
