A Tribute: The Paroissiens

By Bob McLellan

Ian Paroissien will still be a familiar name around BGS. He has given an enormous amount of time and energy to his Old School and has been on the School Council for many years. Also, Ian is a very regular supporter of our Club on match day.

Did you know that his Dad, David, was an Old Boy and played for the Tonners – Although I doubt the term Tonners was used back in the 30's!

See below excerpts from ‘A Tribute’, our club’s history book.

1. The First Victorian Amateur Team to play in Tasmania

2. The 1932 Old Brightonians Team

3. David's fine record as a player

4. His son Ian wasn't too bad a footballer either

5. The 1972 Team, Runners Up

6. The 1977 Premiership Team where Ian Paroissien was Captain. Lots of interesting people in that photo.
