Produktbeschreibung

Darryl Crotty: What Can't He Do? A man of many talents and unwavering commitment, Darryl Crotty embodies the spirit of community, leadership, and resilience. From humble beginnings in Bassendean to a decorated career in Masters football, Darryl's journey is a powerful story of passion and purpose. For over 50 years, football has been his heartbeat-earning four premierships, three All-Australian honours, and a well-deserved place in the WA Football Masters Hall of Fame. But Darryl's impact goes far beyond the field.

As the owner of Herne Hill Post Office and Lottery Agency, he's known not just for Lotto tickets and friendly service, but for his quiet acts of generosity-like donating weekly prizes to Swan Districts Football Club's community nights. A life member of the club and recipient of multiple service awards, Darryl has helped shape the culture of a club he deeply loves.

With humour, humility, and a philosophy of "making every post a winner," Darryl's story also celebrates his work mentoring young people, his love of history and sport, and his devotion to family-including a much-loved poodle named Sprocket, proud sire of 110 puppies.

This is a portrait of a man who doesn't just talk about getting involved-he lives it. Whether through rebuilding flood-affected towns, coaching state teams, or just contributing to a chocolate wheel on a Thursday night, Darryl Crotty shows us the value of giving back. His legacy is not in the trophies, but in the lives he touches and the community he helps hold together.

Autorenporträt

About the Author

It might be said that the expression "Jack of all trades and master of none" is an apt description of Peter J Snow OAM.

He abandoned pursuit of an engineering degree and accounting qualifications but his efforts will leave an extraordinary legacy.

He attributes this to the training, skills and self-confidence he gained through membership of JCI (formerly known as Jaycees International) after joining Fremantle Jaycees in 1970.

Obstacles encountered dented (but certainly not overwhelmed) his positive approach and desire to help and mentor others. His vision, entrepreneurial skills and contribution to his community over 70+ years (some of which are referred to in this book) have resulted in a myriad of awards.

International awards for programs developed or overseen by him include: national public relations; awards; fundraising; group collaboration; commercial education; and assistance to the handicapped.

Personal awards include: Voluntary Contribution to Western Australian Heritage; Honorary Tarheel of North Carolina; a Paul Harris fellowship from Rotary; and Community Torchbearer for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

In addition to being recognised as Outstanding Senator of JCI, Outstanding National Officer and one of the World's Inspiring Jaycees, he was Australian Jaycees (JCIA) first Ambassador in Western Australia and one of the state's Five Outstanding Young Australians.

Along with a JCI Senatorship, he holds life memberships of 8 community or sporting organisations and was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his contribution to the Australian community. In 2025 he was awarded Life Membership of JCIA.
