South Park Football Club (SAFA)

[3] Team members for the 1879 season included John Creswell (Secretary), Aldam Murr Pettinger (Captain), Morton Beach Ive (Vice-Captain), E. Cotching, A. Clarke, F. Dobbs, E.B.

At the end of the 1884 season which had seen it finish fourth (out of five) and with just one win and one draw from 12 games equal with North Adelaide (1877-1884) formerly known as Victorian, South Park only avoided the wooden spoon by the number of goals scored.

Following the Annual General Meeting held at Hamburg Hotel on Wednesday 18 March 1885 in which the last minutes were read and confirmed and the balance sheet reported showing a small deficit a motion was passed to resign from the SAFA and disband.

Aldam Murr "Pet" Pettinger - South Park 1877–84 and Adelaide 1885–86 became the first SAFA player to reach the 100 game milestone.

Pettinger represented South Australia in cricket, Australian rules football, baseball and bowls, was a leading local lacrosse player, golfer, steeplechase rider, an excellent gun shot, and bred and trained hunting dogs.
