Noticed felix and Anduril had Don Davenport as a PE teacher, as I did. who else had a Tiger as a teacher or for that matter another VFL-AFL player as a teacher or school mate.

I was taught by Davenport, played junior footy with Nobby Clarke and Paul Van Der Haar as a junior, played with Wallace at Camberwell before he became a player, went to university with Steven Icke and Greg Hutchinson and taught Jason Mc Cartney.

Just interested
 
I had Peter Schwab for a footy coach.
I also had Russell Green as a PE teacher.
The bloke from North Melbourne, something Law, taught at my school also but I never had him for anything. Hence I can't remember his first name, think it was John but I may be getting mixed up with John Laws.
Also had another guy called Peter Smith who played for Hawthorn reserves but I don't think he ever played a senior game.

From a different sport had Brian Richardson as a rowing caoch, who was one of the Grinders on Australia II when they won the America's Cup.

Oh and I worked for Leon Daphne for many years.
 
Was taught by Peter Rhode, played junior footy under Shane Molloy (Jarrad's father), played alongside Brad Plain and Mark Roberts

i actually played against Billy Nicholls last year in the GFL.
I also used to play my junior footy with Brent Prismall from Geelong.
but thats about all from me.
 
My wife & brothers in law had Chris Connolly as a teacher during their high school years. Pembroke Secondary College.
 
simon madden was my teacher in primary school.
richard geary was a p.e teacher in high school and our footy coach, i think he played a few games for us in the early 90's and also with the eagles
 
Had big Peter Rhode, super bloke. Typical PE teacher, loved to get amongst the students and level the cheeky buggers who gave him grief. :hihi

Went OK at Norwood, struggled with the Bulldogs and now is Football Manager with the Power so he has carved out a fair life out of football. Saw him at a coporate function once and he come over and had a few quiet bevies with myself and another mate who I went to school with. Nice Bloke.
