Geocache Description:

Try as I might, there is very little information to be found about the gentleman in question.

My number one local footy resource is my Dad, who puts the great game before almost anything, and has proudly worked on the ABC SANFL coverage for over a decade. His theory is that the mystery man was an administrator, rather than a player, from the 20's or 30's, for Woodville (not West Torrens). If anyone can shed some light on this theory, let us know. At any rate, you should now be at Woodville Oval. The arch before you is in honour of our enigmatic elder. The cache is at: S 34 53.(4-11)(9-15)(6-16) E 138 32.(5-8)(3-7)(1-10) Update: RideTheGeoWalrus has kindly provided further details about the elusive gentleman. R R (REX) WHITE "REXY" Affectionately known as "Rexy", his association with the Club was due largely to the influence of Barry Jarman through a friendship that developed in junior football teams at the West Torrens Football Club. 40 years of unbroken service as Manager of the A Grade team can only be described as something quite extraordinary. Probably the most colourful personality the Club has seen. His unfailing commitment to the welfare of A Grade players, and the Club generally, will always be remembered by the large number of players (including opposition players) who came into contact with Rex over that 40 year period. To further understand his interests and qualities of commitment, it is appropriate to record that he held various "team assistance positions" with the West Torrens Football Club over a term of 47 years. His memory is perpetuated by the naming of the "Rex White Entrance" gates at the Woodville Oval in recognition of his service to the Woodville District Cricket Club and the Woodville - West Torrens Football Club. RECORD Manager A Grade team 1953/54 - 1992/93 40 years
