Mario Buglione
20 Nov 2007

Mario was our first and somewhat arguably our most succesful manager. His flamboyant and unorthadox manner of management seemed to sit well with the current team that had such local stars as Toby, Russell and Mario's son Tony. Not forgetting of course Morritt.

In his first season (our innaugeral year) we finished a respectable 4th and gained promotion from Div 12 to Div 11.

The following year was to be our swan song and to this day our only league winning season.

Marios' ruthlesssness seemed to lend well to a wayward side and his direction turned a skillfull team in to a winning outfit.

It came down to the last game of the season and we needed a draw. Thanks to a last minute goal fro club stalwart Morritt we drew 2-2 and won the division. I still have the trophy on my mantle peice today. Presently, trophy wise Red Stars best season. But not for long me thinks,,,,

Below is the team that won us the league back in 1998.

John Morrit
23 Nov 2007

Mario really was hounded out in a decision that to this day the Central Committee deeply regrets. It wasn't until Mario was kicked out in a dodgy vote orchestrated by the committee that we realised how much he would be missed. Many said that we won the league despite him rather than with him, but it was this love- hate relationship the club had with Mario that spurred us on to victory. Anyway enough about him, this is about John Morritt. A strange choice following Mario and some say he was a put up job by the COmmittee just to get rid of the previous Manager, which of course is a myth.

However, John Morritts' season in charge was a disaster. Not his fault we hasten to add. It was like rats leaving a siking ship. We lost alot of good players and just sunk without trace. Following a dismal season, John was given a vote of confience by the Committee and duly resigned... With a lucrative pay off.

Toby Cousins

Toby took over where John left off and quickly proved himself to be even more unpopular.
Toby struggled as a player manager and as he was by far the best player on the pitch, none of us could live up to his high expectations. This unusually meant that Toby found himself moaning constantly at other players around him. Through no fault of his own this unsettled the side somewhat. We all hoped to get out of Division 9 during Tobys reign and in this he was succesful.
We were relegated to Division 10.
And Toby moved on...
