• PAC Forfeit – 2005 – Ryan Sweeney
In my short time playing, it has to be the first game of last season where we were due to play PAC, but it was far too hot dont u know for their players to come out and play. Enter Marty with his barrarge of abuse towards the PAC players who were terrified to walk past him on thier way to find some shade that they had congregate in a group. Having one pop at them wasnt enough, Marty had a whole warchest worth of insults. I can also remember most of the whites contributing. They just dont make comedy like that now-a-days!
• Mercedes out – 2001 – Dave Lane
me scoring the winning goal to knock Mercedes out in the semi final of the league cup on the blues home pitch, meant that they missed out on playing at Hindmarsh!!!! GGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLLAAAAAA!
• The Double – 1998 – John Roberts
Many Uni White players (and partners) visiting several North Adelaide, Adelaide and Kent Town hotels following dinner at JJ's to celebrate winning the DOUBLE!! I might also add this was my second double in successive years winning it the previous year (along with Steve Thornet) at UNI BLUE (ha ha!!)
• First Goal – 2003 – Graeme Jackson
Me scoring my first goal for the club past former Whites goalkeeper Steve Bresolin. Jony Aspin brilliantlly drew all four defenders to him on the left flank leaving me to streak down the middle of the field completely unmarked. What happened then is history as I calmly dribbled the ball towards goal waited for Bresolin to come to me and then calmly placed it into the corner of the net and proceeded to graps Steve in a bear hug whislt screaming "HOW GOOD IS THAT".
• Collegiate Cup – 1996 – Stephen Safralidis
After winning the Collegiate Cup in 1999 we went back to our sponsors pub at the time (Worlds End) and Todd Eason was behind the bar... He was filling the cup with Newcastle Browns for the cost of a pint & at one stage there was about 6 of us all drinking the beer from the cup with straws... That was pretty good... But just slightly ahead of that was the 1996 Collegiate cup win against Pultney, in the mud on the blues ground.... Drama filled match - I kicket the ball into the ref & he did his knee, Leo scored the backheel goal... Rain poured down continually & after the win, i can remember horse spraying everyone with multiple bottles of champagne... Ah the good times...
• Unley Bs 0 - 4 Uni White Bs – 2006 – Simon Capp
In a time long long a go, in a place, not so far from here.. lived 15 heros.
• Second Goal – 2006 – Graeme Jackson
my goal against PAC

One entry was not considered in the voting:
Untitled – Jon Aspin
(holding the mic which is keeping him up in a drunken haze, feet scattered and barely audible over the clatter of broken glass, willie nelson playing banjo hits on the juke-box and two crack-whores plying their trade out on the pavement...)
(smokey chocolate lisp )
there are so many moments, so many memories, so to commemorate them all i put together a little song...i thought it up and carved it onto the side of my wooden boat while fourteen 8 metre manta death-rays circled me one time down in luisaville in the off-season on the lakes three years ago...i was flat out from the monkey juice and i thought i was about to die when the whites just came flooding into my soul... like honey into a freshly toasted crumpet...oh yeah, that honey sure does taste good in the summertime...
so here goes, i hope you like my song...
your mama did when i sang it to her last night.
(singing - painfully)
it's like eeevery rose has it's thooarn! - ett, and let me tell you baby, every jaaan pfitzner has it's stooooarrm, ..ooh yeah.
(faster)
cos' when the whites go down for breakfast, you know cappyyy! is involved, and when it gets too loud in the kitchen, you know sampson's on ball. (shut up dave!)
(funkier)
scorin' goals and pickin' up corner flags, are what my saturday's are for, cos' if it wasn't for the good times, i'd just be drinkin' four to the floor - up in the valley of the whiteness, where the girls all scream for more, let me hear ya jonny! -
(anthemic chorus)
c'mooan uni-whites, bill hill wants you to win, robbies gettin' better, has anybody seen his chin? it was chiseled out of granite , when god came down from heaven, dave lane said hello jesus, danny said where the f**k've you been?!
then richie got best and fairest, but i know it was just a dream, he scored more goals than bradman, hittin' golf balls into his tin -mutherf**ker said uuuuni-whites! c'mooan uni-whites! kick that f**kin' ball so hard like you don't care where it goes, yellow cards and s**t referees are what bring the brothers close, saturday is so much fun i nearly wet my paants"
anyway, i kind of lost it after that verse - the next fourteen made virtually no sense at all...i guess i was pretty strung out at the thought of losing the whites forever man.
enjoy the journey.
(passes out with a thud and is rolled off-stage to the sound of virgil the underdog climaxing in the disabled toilets)
