Kevin Nelson

**Kevin Nelson** is a retired Trinidadian forward who played with South Melbourne in 2006.

Immediately prior to the 2006 season, Nelson had ambitions of playing in the A-League, after trialling with Queensland Roar, Adelaide United and Sydney FC. Instead he ended up at South Melbourne during the 2006 pre-season, where he showed good form in both the Crazy John's Cup and the Hellenic Cup.

Having missed the opening round win against Heidelberg due to the late approval of his international clearance, Nelson made his official South debut in the 1-0 win against Fawkner-Whittlesea the week after, scoring the game's only goal.

Despite this promising start, Nelson gradually fell out of favour, increasingly being used off the bench. Despite a hat-trick against Kingston City in round 16, an early injury against Melbourne Knights at Somers Street in round 19 which saw him subbed off was the last appearance he would make for the club. The club abruptly terminated his contract two days later, which lead to arbitration.

As a final insult, Nelson's name was left off the commemorative t-shirt put out by the club to celebrate the 2006 championship.

Nelson briefly resumed his playing career in Trinidad and Tobago, before starting a soccer academy in Canada.

VPL Round 7, 2006

Joe Montemurro was in his first game as George Cross coach after switching from the South youth set up (having replaced Chris Taylor), and he managed to lead his side to only its second win of the season up until that point. Future South player Trent Waterson, then in the first of his several stints at George Cross, opened the scoring in the tenth minute, after heading home from close range. The home side then sat back and absorbed the pressure that South threw at it, before the last half hour saw the game deteriorate, with Sunshine continuing to work hard to defend their lead, and South running out of ideas.

## Lineups

**Sunshine Georgies**: Martin John, Adam Gauci-Seddon, Fidel Richards, Colin Azzopardi, Trent Waterson (Mark Draycott 88), Dusko Delic (Craig Platt 65), Manny Muscat, Brett Gilmour (Johnny Cvetanoski 46), Ivan Filipovic, Sime Kovacevic, Tony Neceski. **Coach:** Joe Montemurro. **Goals:** Waterson 10.

VPL Round 24, 2007

A game of two desperate teams - one hoping to keep in touch with the top six, the other hoping to avoid relegation - turned into an end-to-end affair from start to finish. Both sides squandered numerous chances, but it was Sunshine who would've been most upset with the opportunities missed. With the game winding down however, Sunshine final broke the deadlock, and added another goal late to seal a memorable victory for the visitors.

While in the long-run the win would not be enough for George Cross to survive relegation, South's loss was a near fatal blow in its quest to make the finals.

### Lineups

**South Melbourne**: Mitchell Langerak, Arthur Tsonis, Sam De Vito (Trent Waterson 66), Adam Van Dommele, Nathan Caldwell, Billy Natsioulas, Ricky Diaco, Rama Tavsancioglu, Fernando De Moraes (Bunyamin Vahid 66), Tansel Baser, Yusuf Yusuf (Frank Drakopoulos 76). **Coach:** John Anastasiadis.

NPL Victoria Round 25, 2019

This was a match that was set up to be the quintessential late season dead rubber for both sides, with neither South Melbourne nor Altona Magic in the running to make the finals or face the threat of relegation.

And for the most part that's how match the turned out, with neither side showing much in front of a small, weary crowd, with the first half played in pouring rain.

Yet there was one memorable incident in the first half, where half an hour in Giuseppe Marafioti won a penalty, and attempted to wrest the ball from the hands of captain for the day Marcus Schroen who had assumed that he was going to take the penalty shot. After a brief tssule for the ball, Schroen got his way over Marafioti, and thankfully for all concerned gave South the lead.

Marafioti was benched at half time, and the game resumed its usual state of affairs, with South being the better of the two teams. Poor finishing from South kept the scoreline tight until Billy Konstantinidis scored a tap-in late in the game.

### Lineups

**South Melbourne**: Nikola Roganovic, Perry Lambropoulos, Jake Marshall, Giuseppe Marafioti (Billy Konstantinidis 46), Marcus Schroen, Nick Krousoratis (Leigh Minopoulos 85), Ben Djiba, Kostas Stratomitros, Zac Bates (Will Orford 73), Melvin Becket, Gerrie Sylaidos. **Coach:** Esteban Quintas. **Goals:** Schroen 33pen, B Konstantinidis 88

Though expected to miss a large part of the 2020 season, Adams was re-signed for that season, with the intention that he would act as an assistant coach to Esteban Quintas. In 2021, Adams relinquished his assistant coach role, playing 22 games across all competitions. He was released at the end of the season, whereupon he joined Green Gully.

After scoring in a 3-2 loss at home to Pascoe Vale, Makeche suffered a hamstring injury the following week which saw him miss six games. While he came back late in the season, he was unable to add to his goal tally.

South Melbourne Hellas

**South Melbourne Hellas** was the result of the amalgamation of the newly formed Hellas - itself a merger of Hellenic and Yarra Park - and South Melbourne United. While the merger of Hellas and South Melbourne United likely happened in early 1960, South Melbourne Hellas officially cites its establishment year as 1959, while also considering the club to have been formed by three entities - Hellenic, Yarra Park and South Melbourne United - as opposed to one between Hellas and South Melbourne United.
Roberto Carlos

**Roberto Carlos da Silva Rocha,**more commonly known by his playing name of **Roberto Carlos***,* is a coach and retired football player from Brazil.

In 2017, South Melbourne announced that Carlos would be the coach of the club's A-League side, should South Melbourne succeed in securing an A-League licence.

Though announced in 2017 during a promotional tour which included a dinner event featuring Carlos as the guest of honour, the rumour of Carlos being lined up to be South Melbourne inaugural A-League coach existed as far back as late 2016.

Even before South Melbourne failed to secure an A-League licence during the 2018 expansion process, the likelihood of Carlos being South's first coach in the A-League appeared to disappear.

Baxter returned to that club after his time at South. Prior to arriving in Australia, Baxter's longest club tenure had been at Preston North End; after his time at South, Baxter mostly played in Sweden, with a short US stint.

Following his retirement as a player, Baxter moved into coaching, leading club teams in Sweden, Japan, Portugal and South Africa, as well as coaching the national teams of South Africa and Finland.

Simon Colosimo

**Simon Colosimo** is a retired midfielder who played in the 2000-2001 season with South Melbourne in the National Soccer League.

Colosimo had been considered a rising star of Australian soccer when playing for Carlton until, while playing for the Socceroos against Manchester United, he was felled by a violent tackle by United forward Andy Cole.

The injury scuttled Colosimo's imminent trials in Europe. Eventually recovering from the injury, he resumed playing with Carlton, until that team folded eight weeks into the 2000-2001 season. South Melbourne acquired Colosimo after Carlton folded. He made his debut for the club in the round 14 win over Football Kingz.

Colosimo saw out the rest of the season at Lakeside, before joining Manchester City. Colosimo then had a lengthy career, playing at a large number of clubs, mostly within Australia.

He also represented Australia with the Young Socceroos, Olyroos, and Socceroos, including playing a handful of games for the Socceroos while at South Melbourne.

NPL Victoria Round 24, 2019

South Melbourne's faint hopes of a finals appearance were snuffed out by an impressive Oakleigh Cannons.

When the two sides had met earlier in the year, both were at a low-ebb, and in relegation danger. Though both had extricated themselves from the relegation zone during the second half of the season, where South had barely kept its head above water, Oakleigh had become a serious contender for the title.

Oakleigh dominated from the beginning, but it was South who took the early lead via a slightly dubious penalty - its first penalty of the season. Oakleigh equalised soon after, and though South held its own in the first half, the second half was a procession for the home side, who could have scored several more goals if not for the efforts of Josh Dorron in the South goal.

### Lineups

**Oakleigh Cannons**: John Honos, Tom Matthews, Rama Tavsancioglu, Blair Govan, Ryan Paczkowski (Goran Zoric 79), Joe Guest, Wade Dekker, Hamish Millar (Felix Dimitrakis 88) Harry White (Milos Lujic 80), Matthew Foschini, Luke Pavlou. **Coach:** Chris Taylor. **Goals:** White 16, Dekker 53, 61, Matthews 56

**South Melbourne:** Josh Dorron, Jake Marshall, Giuseppe Marafioti (Peter Skapetis 64), Billy Konstantinidis, Marcus Schroen, Brad Norton, Ben Djiba (Perry Lambropoulos 64), Kostas Stratomitros, Zac Bates (Nick Krousoratis 57), Melvin Becket, Gerrie Sylaidos. **Coach:** Esteban Quintas. **Goals:** Schroen 10 (pen)

Peter Zois

**Peter Zois** is a retired goalkeeper who played for South Melbourne in 2010.

Zois had been a South Melbourne youth player during the National Soccer League before embarking on a ten year long overseas sojourn which saw him play little first team football.

On his return to Australia he established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the Victorian Premier League, leading to his being signed by South Melbourne during the 2010 pre-season in order to solve South's longstanding goalkeeping issues.

Zois made the position his own in 2010, playing every league match as well as in South Melbourne's win over Gombak United in the opening round of the Singapore Cup. Zois' form saw him win the VPL's goalkeeper of the year award.

Despite his successful 2010 season, Zois left the club prior to the club's Singapore Cup quarter final matches against Bangkok Glass, initially signing on as a back-up goalkeeper at Melbourne Heart (where he was also a goalkeeping coach) before signing with Oakleigh Cannons for the 2011 season.

Signed from Sydney Olympic in the New South Wales Premier League, in 2011 Zeneli found himself in a three-way battle between himself, Abdelhadi Deroune, and Stefaan Sardelic, for the no. 1 goalkeeper's role in the chaotic season under Eddie Krncevic.

Founded by Dutch migrants in 1953 as *Wilhelmina,* Ringwood City had success in the 1950s, winning the Dockerty Cup in 1958, and the Victorian State League title in 1959. Though a Victorian top-tier mainstay throughout most of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, the club was rarely a championship contender. A series of relegations in the 1990s and 2000s saw the club fall to the lowest tiers of Victorian soccer.
