Aboriginal footballers have represented Australia and played at the highest standards of domestic competition. Harry Williams, John Moriarty and Charles Perkins are some of the best known. Williams was part of the World Cup Socceroos squad in 1974, while Moriarty and Perkins had stellar later careers in art/commerce and politics respectively.

John McDonald might get out a little more and take a trip to Geelong where he would see some of the most innovative and effective public art, particularly Jan Mitchell’s Bollard Walk along the foreshore. There are even tasters at Tullamarine and Avalon. Easily decried as popular this is a brilliant mixture of local history, culture and humour, accessible to everyone from children to old folks out for a stroll. The use of local materials and scrap to create and decorate the figures is superb. Our overseas visitors are always impressed and delighted.

Don't blame you for claiming ‘Mo’ Johnston as first Catholic to play for Rangers. But Willie Kivlichan, Colin Mainds,Tom Murray and Archie Kyle were Catholics who played for Rangers before 1914, when my grandfather, James Hay, was the first Protestant captain of Celtic. Don Kichenbrand and John Spencer did so before ‘Mo’.
