GRANT PLUMBING PETONE Match Programme Sunday 27th July 2014 Lotto Central League Petone FC vs Miramar Rangers 3.00pm Women’s 3 Tall Poppy Petone vs Victoria University 1.00pm Welcome... Today we welcome Miramar Rangers to Memorial Park for the rescheduled Central league clash against Grant Plumbing Petone - our second game against the league leaders in a week. We gave a very good account of ourselves last Saturday at David Farrington Park but came away empty handed after taking an early 2-0 lead. Knowing how to win is an art and it’s something we need to learn quickly,especially when we get ourselves into strong positions. Today will be a big test of our mental toughness and a chance to see what we’ve learned from last week. It’s a big weekend for football and also a big weekend for our women’s 2nd team. Tall Poppy Petone Reserves play the curtain raiser and another win will secure promotion and put us ahead of schedule on our new women’s strategic plan. Tall Poppy Petone 1st team are also on track for promotion so it could be a great day for women’s football at Petone! Good luck to all Petone teams playing this weekend. Remember, play hard but play fair. Craig Deadman Chairman, Petone Football Club NO SMOKING ON THE BALCONY Please note: there is NO smoking on the balcony when a game is being played on #1.

Not being of a shy nature, Grant quickly earned himself a reputation as a hard player, but the aggression always came laced with passion, skill and commitment, no matter what team he was playing for. That attitude took him to the top of NZ Football where he made 71 appearances and scored 19 goals, and he remains a player Petone are proud to call their own. Grant was recently interviewed by Steve Minogue, who had the pleasure of managing some of the teams in which Grant played. Why did you choose to play for Petone? My grandfather, Reg Chapman, who played for Petone, lived at the end of Bracken St.He encouraged me to play the game and came and watched me. Petone Football Club became my homeand, although I played for several clubs (today’s opposition included where I appreciated the influence of the late David Farrington), I always came back to Petone. Where do you currently live and what are you doing? Tauranga. I work for Carter Holt Harvey. What is your involvement in football today? Nil. I don’t even follow a team in the EPL anymore. I play a bit of golf, and have two grandchildren in Whakatane. My grandson (6) plays rugby and my granddaughter (8) is into netball. Neither knows that grandad played football for New Zealand. Favourite memories of Petone Football Club? The people at Petone were like family. Dave Agent was a g o o d f r i e n d t o m e . C o a c h T o n y E v a n s a l s o h e l p e d m e g r e a t l y . As a coach, winning the Hilton Petone Cup against Miramar in 2000 was special.One of the best goals I scored for Petone was against Napier at Nelson Park. I shot from well outside the area and from the time it left the boot I felt good about it. We won that game 3-2, a rear occurrence for any visitors to Napier at that time. Which coach had the biggest influence on your career? There is one coach who stands out when it comes to influencing me - Fallon. We fought like cats and dogs, probably because we were similar types, but he got the best out of me and made me an All White. The other major influence in my career has been my wife, Lyn. We just celebrated 35 years of marriage and she has been with me through some pretty tough times over those years. Her support and influence on me have been magnificent. What was your career highlight? Where are they now Highlight was being picked for my country. It was a special moment every time I pulled on the NZ Jersey. It was something I was so passionate about. I saw it as an honour and I feel that - Grant Turner players who pick and choose when they are available for the All Whites should get overlooked next time and replaced. It is important that the honour of playing for the All Whites needs to be preserved.However I draw the line with that theory when it comes to availability for friendlies. Players at top level do need to have breaks. That is an important part of their programmes. Regrets? Well, getting injured in Spain before the start of the World Cup was unfortunate. I also regret not knowing who Tommy Docherty was. He rang me after the World Cup game in Australia in 81 and asked me if I would be interested in going to England to play for his team. He was coaching Wolves at the time but I said I was busy and asked him to ring back. Shortly after, Ricky Herbert joined the club. Fallon had to tell me who Docherty was. I received other offers from overseas but the timing wasn’t right. Who was your footballing idol when you were growing up? I never really modelled myself on anyone. Kevin Keegan and Steve Heighway were good to watch and I actually got to play with Keegan in a game here in NZ. I played rugby league as a kid in the mornings, and then played football in the afternoon. What would you have wanted to see at Petone during your time? If one thing disappointed me about Petone it was that the club never had the aspiration to move forward to National League when they had the opportunity. I know there are other things that need to be considered when you take a step forward, especially with the costs involved in playing at the top level, but it was disappointing to players who had achieved that recognition and never got it. I always thought that Petone could have made it, but the aspiration didn’t appear to be there.
