GARY Window
Congratulations, inducted in the Central District Football Club hall of fame.
A Bulldog who represented South Australia, with four generations of footballing name.
A true champion of our great Aussie Rules.
Who really displayed great courage, competing in every duel.
Son of a Glenelg great, his father’s name was Clarrie.
Who turned out to be even better, a true legend from Centrals, Gary.
The first captain of the club who led the way with a lot of Bulldog pride.
A reserves Magarey in ‘63 and a league Magarey in ‘65. He won the medal polling in a close count, receiving 16 votes.
The whole of Elizabeth celebrated, it’s a memory my father recalls the most.
The captain/coach of Central District winning the reserves premiership in 1971.
The famous hands outstretched shoulder ride at Adelaide Oval after they had won.
A gentleman in life who was always robust and true. Hard as nails playing in the red, white and blue.
Playing in the centre or at centre half forward.
Playing against the South Australian teams like Port, Sturt and Norwood.
84 games at the SANFL level with many stories to be told.
Nearly a goal at every outing with his stats at 74 goals.
A commentator worth listening to on the station of FiveAA.
He coached the District of Centrals to the position of sixth and an implement to cook with, but hey.
I may not have Window in my name but I definitely have Window in my blood, my veins.
Because everybody knows that the family name is great, in football circles there is no better group of people quite the same.
Central District has a favourite son and his name is Gary Window.
At every function held out north at Elizabeth, this legend needs no intro.
My dad is a first cousin to Gary who always loved to boast about knowing him.
Our family tree has a popular branch which holds everyone together by kin.
Sean Carmody, Hewett
