Parkside Football Club 1897/2017




               Craig's father, Ron, is also president of Parkside Football Club, where Craig has played more than 100
               games since starting with the under-13s.

               The Knox family live in Smith Crescent, Footscray, 'and last weekend was a hectic one for Craig's
               parents, Ron and Ailsa.

               Ron and Ailsa returned on Friday from a six-week holiday in England and Europe. On hearing of
               Craig's selection in the Victorian team, they rushed to Adelaide to watch him play on Saturday and
               Sunday.”
