Players as Teachers

[Ruthless Tigers ?]

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.

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.

Thought the saying was "Those who can't - teach" ;D
