National Soccer League Cup

The **National Soccer League Cup** was a knock-out tournament, which ran from 1977 until the 1996-1997 season. South Melbourne won the NSL Cup twice, in the 1989-1990 and 1995-1996 seasons.

Over the course of its history, the competition was held at a variety of times during the NSL season, and under a variety of formats.

In most years, matches in the competition were held at intervals during the league season, though by the end of its run, the competition became a pre-season warm-up tournament. The competition was usually conducted in a straight knockout cup format, though group stages were also occasionally used, as well as two-legged ties in some (but not all) rounds in some years.

In its early days, the competition included not only NSL clubs, but also leading clubs from the various states. The inclusion of the state teams was reduced over time, and the diminishing prestige of the competition - never too high to begin with - eventually saw the cup discontinued.

Steven O'Dor

**Steven O'Dor** was a central defender who spent several seasons at South Melbourne during the Victorian Premier League era.

O'Dor was a defensive mainstay of South Melbourne's first years back in Victorian Premier League following the demise of the National Soccer League.

But his long tenure at the club also saw him miss most of the 2006 championship season due to being with the Australian Institute of Sport, and his two stints in the A-League - one each with New Zealand Knights and Wellington Phoenix - also broke that South Melbourne continuity.

O'Dor had been a member of South's National Youth League squad in 2003/04, including scoring in the final which that side lost to Canberra Deakin. Following the end of that season, and with South not playing senior football for the remainder of 2004 O'Dor joined Fitzroy City.

O'Dor made his debut for South in round 1, 2005. O'Dor only managed three games in 2006, before being called up to the Australian Institute of Sport, and then the New Zealand Knights. O'Dor returned to South in 2007, then joined up with Wellington Phoenix before cutting his tenure there short in order to return to Australia to complete his legal degree.

O'Dor won the club's best and fairest award in 2008, was appointed vice-captain in 2009 and 2010, and was made captain by Eddie Krncevic for the 2011 season, a role he kept in 2012.

O'Dor retired from soccer at the end of 2012 due to increased work commitments, though he played at least some games for lower league Mazenod United, whom he began coaching.

Princes Park

*This article is about the Australian Rules stadium in Carlton, not the soccer grounds used by South Melbourne's juniors in Caulfield.*

**Princes Park** is an Australian Rules football venue in Carlton, Victoria, located within the park precinct of the same name.

The home ground of the Australian Football League's Carlton Football Club, Princes Park was used by the Carlton soccer club during their first season in the National Soccer League. At the time, it was known by the sponsor name of *Optus Oval.*
Stiven Mrkela

**Stiven Mrkela** (also sometimes called *Stivan* or *Steve)* is a defender who played two seasons with South Melbourne.

Before joining South Melbourne, Mrkela had been a Victorian Premier League mainstay, and a core member of the strong Altona Magic sides during the early 2000s (where he had also played as part of their National Youth League side). However, even though Magic had won the title in 2008, Mrkela had missed most of that season, playing no games after April.

Still, at only 27, South must have thought it worth the risk in signing such a well credentialed player. Mrkela however was never able to shake off his injury concerns, playing only eleven matches in 2009, and just six more in 2010, before joining Clifton Hill in State League 1.

VPL Round 1, 2012

South Melbourne starting XI for the opening game of the 2012 season. The team wore its grey/silver away strip, apparently because the blue home strip was not yet available. Back row: Brad Norton, Tom Matthews, Luke Byles, Trent Rixon, Peter Gavalas, Kyle JoryeffFront Row: Jason Trifiro, Glen Trifiro, Steve O'Dor (captain), Fernando De Moraes, Dimi Tsiaras

### Crowd

1746

The opening round always offers an opportunity to surprise and impress, but this game also had extra incentive for the participants - South were back home at Lakeside for the first time since 2010, while the Zebras were out to prove that they belonged in the VPL after having won the State League 1 title in 2011. Those ambitions from the Zebras were dealt an early blow when a soft turnover in defence saw Jason Trifiro pass to Kyle Joryeff, who swivelled and shot powerfully past Griffin McMaster.

Another defensive error, this time by former South man Carl Recchia, saw Joryeff double his tally. Moreland eventually managed to create a couple of chances in the second half, but two late goals to South - the first to Jason Trifiro, who received a cutback across goal from Tom Matthews, the second seeing Dimi Hatzimouratis finishing from a low cross - killed the game off and provided ample reward for South's dominance on the day. A fine way to start 2012, but time would eventually show that the Zebras were not remotely a yardstick to measure oneself against.

## Lineups

**South Melbourne**: Peter Gavalas, Tom Matthews, Steve O'Dor, Dimi Tsiaras, Trent Rixon (Dimi Hatzimouratis 66), Glen Trifiro, Brad Norton, Luke Byles, Fernando De Moraes, Jason Trifiro, Kyle Joryeff (Gianni De Nittis 53). **Coach:** Peter Tsolakis. **Goals:** Kyle Joryeff 25, 31, Jason Trifiro 84, Dimi Hatzimouratis 86

**Moreland Zebras:** Griffin McMaster, Chris Grossman, Ray Lally (Brandon Defina 71), Will Abbott, Stuart Nicholson, Carl Recchia, Vinnie Faherty, Steven Weir, Jungho Kim (Dejan Radojicic 55, Reardo Luka 66), Ersin Kaya, Nace Kosmac. **Coach**: Dominic Barba.

## Milestones

*Debut*: Luke Byles, Peter Gavalas, Dimi Hatzimouratis, Brad Norton, Trent Rixon, Glen Trifiro, Jason Trifiro, Dimi Tsiaras

This was Peter Tsolakis' first match as coach of South Melbourne during his second stint in that role. Previously he had been caretaker coach during the final weeks of the 2002-2003 season following the sacking of Danny Wright.

This was the first match for points at the newly renovated Lakeside Stadium. It was also the first time South Melbourne had won an opening round game since beating Heidelberg in 2006.

VPL Round 19, 2011

South squandered the chance to press its claim not only for a finals spot but also the double chance with a turgid performance away against Richmond. The home side opened the scoring early through Ross Antoniadis, and despite eventually coming to dominate proceedings in the second half, South failed to trouble Stjepan Gal in the Richmond goal.

Following this game, FFV docked three points from South Melbourne for fielding an ineligible player in Kliment Taseski. Taseski's loan from Melbourne Heart had finished on July 4, and apparently informed by FFV on July 5 of this fact, South played Taseski anyway. Later on, the three points docked from South were reinstated after FFV likely acknowledged that South successfully lodged an application to extend Taseski's loan for an extra week.

## Lineups

**Richmond**: Stjepan Gal, Andrew Viola, Erhan Karahan, Ross Antoniadis, Mitch Bissinger, Timmy Purcell, Scott Muirhead (Mate Eterovic 80), Michael Catalano (Devon Bonne 85), Nick Marinos (Dimi Tsiaras 70), Antun Kovacic, Michael Ferrante. **Coach:** Michael Chatzitrifonos. **Goals:** Antoniadis 15.

**South Melbourne:** Zaim Zeneli, Tom Matthews, Carl Recchia, Steven Topalovic, Trent Waterson (Fernando De Moraes 46), Daniel Vasilevski, Marinos Gasparis, Sebastian Petrovic (Daniel Dragicevic 83), Rhodri Payne (Kyle Joryeff 75), Steven Weir, Kliment Taseski. **Coach**: Eddie Krncevic.

Slavia

**Slavia**, also known by the names *Port Melbourne Slavia*, *Essendon Slavia*, and *Prahran Slavia*, is a defunct soccer club founded by Czech migrants..

Founded in 1949, Slavia reached the Victorian top-tier in 1956, and apart from two seasons in the 1970s, were a mainstay of Victoria's top division until 1980. In 1983 the Chilean community took over Slavia.

During its time in the Victorian State League, Slavia never won the league title; despite generally finishing in the top half of the table, the club's best finish was second place, in 1966 and 1977.

Slavia had more success in cup competitions however. It won three Dockerty Cups in the 1960s, including the 1967 final over South Melbourne; indeed, they knocked Hellas out of the Dockerty Cup on several occasions in the 1960s.

Slavia also won the 1967 Ampol Cup, but its greatest success was winning the 1963 Australia Cup.

The overall head-to-head record between Hellas and Slavia reflects the two sides' different trajectories during the 1960s and 70s. Hellas, the most dominant league side in Victoria from 1961-1976, had a strong record against Slavia in the league. In cup competitions, Slavia had an excellent record against Hellas, who under-performed in knockout tournaments until the mid-1970s.

VPL Round 1, 2007

South came out firing in the opening 20 minutes, but despite new recruit Ricky Diaco scoring after just three minutes, a Dean Anastasiadis blunder from a tame freekick from former South player Nick Sabljak saw the scores levelled. Billy Natsioulas restored South's lead almost immediately, but another Anastasiadis blunder from another Sabljak free kick saw the visitors draw level again. Anastasiadis' day went from bad to disastrous when he misjudged a through-ball, allowing another former South man in Andy Vlahos to round him and give the Bergers the lead. Diaco managed to rescue a point for South with a late goal, the final act in an exciting but mistake-riddled game.

## Lineups

**South Melbourne**: Dean Anastasiadis, Sam De Vito, Steven O'Dor, Billy Jones, Billy Natsioulas, Ricky Diaco, Dino Djulbic, Ramazan Tavsancioglu, Fernando De Moraes, Nick Curtis (Frank Drakopoulos 80), Gianni De Nittis (Trent Waterson 67). **Coach:** John Anastasiadis. **Goals:** Diaco 3, 86, Natsioulas 20.

Robert Stewart

**Robert Stewart** (also known as *Rob Stewart)* is a retired Scottish striker from Heart of Midlothian, who played with South Melbourne Hellas' senior squad during the 1981 pre-season.

The 19 year-old Stewart flew out from Scotland on the same plane bound for Australia as Jim Shirra, having been recommended to South Melbourne by Eamonn Bannon.

Stewart never played for South Melbourne in a competitive game - he was signed by Frankston City, where he would be guaranteed more first-team football, with South having the first option on his signing for 1982 (for a transfer fee of $3,000), should Stewart be interested in trying once more for the National Soccer League. Stewart appears to disappear from the Australian record after the end of the 1982 Victorian season.

Ramazan Tavsancioglu

**Ramazan 'Rama' Tavsancioglu** is a defender who played with South Melbourne during the club's first years in the Victorian Premier League following the end of the National Soccer League.

Tavsancioglu spent six seasons with South Melbourne, playing primarily in the right full-back position .Amember of the 2006 championship team, Tavsancioglu was a resilient player, playing 20 or more matches every year that he was at South.

In 2009, the club's 50th anniversary year, he was made captain. On the eve of the 2011 season, a falling out with coach Eddie Krncevic saw Tavsancioglu leave the club, joining Oakleigh Cannons.

In the years since, Tavsancioglu has played for a variety of VPL and NPL clubs, mostly as a centre-back as the seasons took their toll on his speed and agility.

In 2006, Tavsancioglu played at Melbourne Victory as an injury replacement player. In 2008, Rama's brother Adem Tavsancioglu also played with South Melbourne.

In 2010, following the end of South's Singapore Cup campaign, and up until early 2011, Tavsancioglu played as an injury replacement player for North Queensland Fury.

Yannis Galanos

**Yannis Galanos** is a midfielder who played for South Melbourne in 2011.

Galanos' South stint got off to a horror start, when a severe leg injury during a December 2010 practice match against Dandenong Thunder ruled him out for almost all of 2011.

Against the odds, and perhaps against better judgement, Galanos made three appearances at the tail-end of the 2011 season despite a lack of match fitness.

The end of the season saw him move on from South, continuing his club-hopping tendencies, while also leaving him with the unusual statistic of having played more finals matches (2) than home and away games (1) for South.

## Milestones

**Arrived from**: Heidelberg United

**Departed to**: Southern Stars

**Debut:** VPL Round 22, 2011, against Northcote City, SS Anderson Reserve, Port Melbourne

Summer Cup (Victoria)

The **Summer Cup** is the generic name given by this wiki to the pre-season night series tournaments held by the Victorian Soccer Federation and its predecessor, the Victorian Amateur Soccer Football Association, from 1955 to 1989.

The tournament was known by three different sponsored names. From 1955-1959, it was known as the *Sun Cup,* named after the *Sun* newspaper. From 1960-1983, it was known as the *Ampol Cup,* named after the petroleum company. From 1984 until the competition's final edition in 1989, it was known as the *Buffalo Cup,* after the sporting goods manufacturer.

The tournament varied in the number of teams invited to participated, but the usual pre-requisite was that they be among the highest ranked teams of the previous season's State League competition. At times, all State League teams participated in the tournament. From 1977 to 1981 - with the exception of 1980 - Victoria's National Soccer League clubs did not participate. In 1980, and from 1982 until the final tournament in 1989, the Victorian NSL clubs played in the tournament.

During its Ampol Cup phase in the 1960s, the winners of the tournament played off against the winners of the equivalent interstate tournament, under a variety of formats.

South Melbourne Hellas won the Victorian pre-season cup on seven occasions - four under the *Ampol Cup* name, and three under the *Buffalo Cup* name, and was runner up on four occasions.

South Melbourne Cricket Ground

The **South Melbourne Cricket Ground** was a cricket and Australian Rules football stadium located on the site currently occupied by Lakeside Stadium.

The home ground of the South Melbourne Football Club (until they left for Sydney after the 1981 VFL season) and the South Melbourne Cricket Club, the venue also hosted some Ampol Cup matches during the 1960s. As with the Victorian Football League's night series, the fact that the ground had lights allowed for double headers to be played in the evenings during the summer months.

VPL Round 18, 2008

South's first interstate match for points since the end of the National Soccer League saw it travel up to Canberra to take on the Australian Institute of Sport. About 50 South fans also made the trip, only to be treated to a tight match with few chances for either side. Worse, because the start of the game had been delayed by 20 minutes - referee Lewis Giuseffi had demanded that pegs for the goal nets be installed - the game was reduced to 40 minute halves in order for the visitors to be able to make their flight home.

## Lineups

**Australian Institute of Sport:**Mark Birighitti, Travis Anderson, Steven Tibbetts, Ante Cicak (Ivan Pavlak 65), Sam Munro, Richard Greer (Howard Fondyke 48), Rhyan Grant, Matthew Mullen, Kofi Danning, Bonel Obradovic (Mathew Theodore 59), Laurence Braude. **Coach**: Ray Junna..

Rale Rasic

**Zvonomir "Rale" Rasic** was a soccer player and coach, who was South Melbourne Hellas coach in 1983.

Aside from his long and successful career as a club coach in Australia, Rasic was best known for being coach of the Socceroos when they qualified for the 1974 World Cup.

Rasic was appointed coach of South Melbourne Hellas in October 1982, after the club opted not to extend Tommy Docherty's contract at the conclusion of the 1982 season. Rasic was coach of South Melbourne Hellas for the team's first 13 matches of the 1983 season, before being sacked and replaced by Len McKendry. Upon being sacked, Rasic claimed that he had been guaranteed the coaching job until the end of 1984.
