Team Manager: John Forth

John joined Walkerville just after Roscoe and has been around the club since the 1930’s and is a remarkable person to stay the way he has after being involved with C.Grade for so long through the good and bad times. I think their were occasions that John nearly had to put on the Blue & White Guernsey to make up the numbers, whilst doing the paperwork, goal umpiring and scoreboard attendant.
