Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
Mr Norman Griffin will go down as perhaps the most successful president in the history of
the Parkside Football Club.
Mr Norman Griffin
He was a well-known resident of Footscray. Mr Griffin was an established jeweller and a long term
occupant in Hopkins Street. He started in 1923 and moved to number 141, Hopkins Street. At these
premises he made the first Footscray Mayoral Chain (Cr Hanmer), in 1936, at the advent of the new
Footscray Town Hall, designed by architect Joseph Plottel.
“Another of his community roles included a sixteen year term as Parkside Football Club president,
begun in 1925. His son, Alan, carried on the jewellery business at 141, in later years.”
