Early life Tim Ginever is the seventh of 10 children and says that Australian Football helped his English father and South American mother transition into Australian life. Football Ginever made his SANFL debut as a 17-year-old rover in 1983. If you were to undertake a detailed objective assessment of Tim Ginever's football ability - marking, kicking, pace, ball skills and so forth - you might conceivably end up wondering how they could possibly be combined to produce a player of league standard. Tim Ginever, however, was much more than just an average league player; he was arguably one of the most important SANFL footballers of the 1980s and 1990s, and provided conclusively persuasive evidence that success in football is at least as much attributable to mental as to physical capabilities.

The format generally involved Dawe trying to press for an answer and Clarke tryi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
