Team of the Century

Team of the Century

Background

The North Adelaide Football Club has a long and proud history, dating from its establishment in 1893.  The main thing which sets North apart from its rivals is that it has arguably produced more exceptional footballers than any other Club.  As the 20th century drew to a close, the Club decided to honour those champions by selecting a "Team of the Century".

The Club established a Committee in 1999 to undertake the task of selecting this team.  This "selection committee" comprised Colin Walsh (Chairman), Don Lindner, Tom McKenzie, Jeff Pash, Barrie Robran and Gordon Schwartz.  Each member provided a list of candidates for each position and the Committee then set about the arduous task of selecting the final team.  The selected team was formally announced at a gala dinner held on 7 October 2000.

While much healthy discussion has been generated about the final selections, and in particular some of the players who missed out, no-one could disagree that everyone in the team deserves recognition as a legend of the Club.

Due to the incredible interest generated by the announcement of this team, the History Committee decided to produce a book to give all supporters a close-up of the members of the team.  Copies of this widely acclaimed book, "North Adelaide's Greatest", are available from the Club.  See Merchandise for further details.
