Casual Football Chats - Ep 5 - Jacob Alfdemkampe

The Perth Football Podcast

Jacob Alfdemkampe is a Balga Soccer Club member and founder of FootballWA.net. He has a passion and love for soccer (as he calls it) and for community. This has seen him wear the Green and Black hat of Balga and the Oranje hat of Morley Windmills.

His tireless efforts mean that we have an archive of football here in WA and a place to check up all the records as far as football can go.

As Jacob mentions in our chat - Balga Soccer Club are having a 40 year reunion to celebrate their side gaining promotion to WA's top tier. It was back in 1984 when our club managed to earn the right to play in the top league of Western Australia when we finished runners-up in the second tier. The 40 year reunion will take place on Saturday 4th May at Princess Road Reserve when we take on Kalamunda City in our State League Division Two game. If you know of any of the players or coaching staff (First Team, Reserves or Under 17's) that played for Balga in 1984, please let them know. All these pictures were taken on the day (and night) when we were assured of promotion, anyone that was involved or supported the club that season are welcome to attend.
