Stop Out
I am looking for some old photos of Stop Out.
Players/full team pics.
They do not need to be fab quality, but it would help if you know (approx) when they were taken. Can any one help?

Have you tried the Capital Soccer guys. Not sure if they will have
records dating back but they may have some copies of match
programmes which might feature photos of players in game situation
or pen pics. I've got a few programmes from Manawatu United days
when their games against Stop Out at Memorial Park used to attract
3000. They were great days back then even though Manawatu never set
the national league on fire in them days. I will try and find out
where they are and if I find them I will drop a message on the
forum somewhere.
Cheers Grant
excellent, thanks kiwi canary
if anyone can direct me to any pics online that'd be great. :0)

will try and find out this weekend are they for the club or just
personal?
Da Selecta has a video of Stop Out winning the Napier u19 tournie
in about 1992
That would be with one Simon Elliot scoring the winner from a
cross!!!

bigDunc in the winning team
A friend of mine is a Life Memeber of Stop Out so he's bound to
have some stuff sitting around. Ive have a chat to him and PM you.
hi try steve stevens from capital football. he used to play for SO
and also has many photos of games (not sure if any are of SO but
worth a try). he has a great pic of barry pickering flying
through the air.
steves work number is 9344156
Thats all barry pickering did , fly around the air
Pickles was a top class keeper, for that there is no doubt!
Barry was a brilliant, world class keeper; in fact the best I ever saw in NZ during the 80s. Pity that knee injury nobbled his career. Yep, I remember him flying through the air one godawful day at Newtown Park to tip over a Derek Gibson-Smith thunderbolt. Sensational stuff! Made a similar save for the All Whites against Oz a few years later too.
Derek Gibson-Smith thats another memory, big guy ex Everton pro but
way past his best when he got here. I watched him many times at
TeWhiti park back in the day.
Watched him the day he tiptoed behind a keeper who rolled the ball DGS zapped around him and put the ball in the net.

I marked him once - he was the sweatiest player I've ever
marked
Yea Derek was a bit overweight which probably accounted
for the sweat.
Stop Out sure had some interesting characters during the National league days, some I can remember
Sam Malcomson, Geoff Brand, Maurice Tillotson, Tom and Glenn Winter, Duggie, Steve Boyland,
Te Whiti was a good set up as well why did they leave there with the lights, clubrooms and gym all in one place.

If you had the job of marking Derek then you had an
easy one - he never liked running for the ball much. I
remember him bellowing at a team mate, "Fookin' 'ell, play it to me
feet!" That was common, come to think of it.
Steve Boyland: what a player. Fantastic watching him running
at a defence. Him and Bruce Polyansky were dynamite for Stop Out
during the Fred Goodwin years.
Keith Barton is another I just remembered,played
fullback and was hard as nails,
With Dugdale and barton I am trying to think of other 'Hard' players from that era. I know Petone had a few over the time as did Wellington City.

Marked Derek a few times Yeh he never did much running. I found
that whenever you thought he wasn't going to get a strike that's
when he would get to it and try to put one over you. I just
worked it out and flung myself into him, plenty of padding so not
much damage. I had trouble with Gary Paddison if you shut down one
part of his play he just did something else. Agree with you Stopout
about Barry, best save against us I ever saw (he was playing for
stop out) and nowadays he doesn't even remember it 
Derek Gibson-Smiths works with my old man in Porirua! great guy and
has given me some good tips over the last cupla seasons.
heard he was class back in the day.

Did Gordan McAbnee (not sure of spelling) ever play/coach Stop out? What sort of player was he? Met him once in Auckland but heard heaps about him.
Funny you should mention Gordy, Gumboot, because your post
reminded me about him and a few others. First time I saw him turn
out for Stop Out I wasn't impressed at all, thought he was a bit of
a loudmouth without the talent to back it up (well, he was a Pom of
some description!). But I soon changed my mind completely. He
really was an excellent player and a core member of the team.
Great in the air.
Gordy played in the defensive third, often paired up with
another big bloke called Gareth something-or-other, whose workrate
was tremendous. Man, that guy was determined - definitely no
ballerina, but the sort who make themselves into good players by
sheer hard work. I remember he used to growl like a bear as he
chased down frightened little strikers!
Speaking of hard men and Gordon McAbney, (Scotsman), I remember the first game he played in NZ was against Petone at Te Whiti Park, (Wharfies home ground that year). Another player with a reasonable reputation for physical awareness, Eddie Phelan, clatterred Gordie in a bone crunching tackle. With steam coming out of his ears, G Mc put his hands around Phelan's throat and raised him off the ground. The closest thing I have seen to a hanging on the football feild.
There waS always great rivalry between Petone
and Stopout during the 70's and 80's probably fuelled by the fact
that we kept flogging each other's players. National League status
meant nothing when it came to a local derby.
At one stage we had Grant Turner, Eddie Phelan and Dave Agent
up front. Plenty of pooey smells around the penalty area in thoses
days.

Driving past the Raceway the other day I see that there is a Sports
Administration Centre being built next to the Stopout clubrooms and
the clubrooms are being extended. Anyone know what this is all
leading to. Surely you dont need mpore room for a trophy cabinet do
you?
The club room extentsion is to finally get some decent changing
rooms.
Cant knock a club for spending money on improving facilities
The council is upgrading the facilities in line with the sports administration building and the Hutt park upgrade. The upgrade includes new grounds hopefully they should end up with 3 Senior pitches, more junior pitches and an expanded training area. The council have included overdue changing facilities next the clubrooms. Stop Out should end up with the best footballing facilites in the Wellington region.
Just joined the yellow fever as a bit of a reborn footie fan, used
to have a bit to do with some soccer players from the Hutt but
nothing for a long time till the Phoenix come along.
Question I have always wanted to ask is what does STOP OUT stand for?

Don't quote me on this but I vaguely recall someone telling me
that Stop Out derives from a bit of old working class slang, ie
"Are you coming home, luv?" "Nah, I think I'll stop out for a
while". The idea being that you're staying out late to socialise
and, er, kick a football around.
Could be complete bollocks of course.
As to my labelling Gordon McAb. a loudmouth Pom, ouch, an own
goal there. Sorry Gordy wherever you are. I guess he yelled so loud
I couldn't tell what accent it was!

The name came from the forming of a club, (boxing and football) to
prevent kids from stopping out on the streets. The Coe and Dunn
families were instrumental. As a boy from across the river, I hate
to say this but New Zealand needs a lot more "Stopout" Clubs these
days.
(Soap and Water).

Was it Gareth MARTINS?? Think he
had whiskers..
Speaking of Derek Gibson-Smith sweating; I recall going to
a Stop Out pre season Hilton Petone cup match on
a stinking hot Sunday at some school around the LowerHutt
area and Stop Out had to change in the shelter shed.Well after the
game 'Fatso' (as my mate Gary Welch called him) removed his shirt
to reveal a 'T' shirt which was then removed with some
difficulty.DG-S proceeded to wring it out and I was mortified to
see pints of sweat cascading to the floor.It was as if a tap had
been turned on.Unreal.

Eddie was a cute Asian guy wasn't he? My older sister used to go out with a guy Wayne who played at Petone he was a nice guy. He had a flat with Warren and Gary I think.
Yes footygal the blue shirts do bring the best out in a guy, and if
you spent a lot of time watching Stopout, it is not surprising that
you found Petone players cute.

Clearly it was. There you are using the username StopOut and making errors as fundamental as that. I suggest you give up the username until such time as you're worthy of carrying it.

I'm sorry if my username upsets you, as your post and PM
indicate. As it's over 20 years since I last saw Stop Out play it
is obvious that I am no expert on them, nor have I claimed to be in
any of my posts.
The username StopOut has no significance other than it being
the name of the first football team I ever followed with a passion,
ie, turning up to support them week in, week out, rain, hail or
shine, in National league or Central league, winning or losing. It
happens that this passion is one which I have recently rediscovered
supporting Wellington Phoenix, hence the connection.
What a tiny, harmless gesture to attract such snide moral
censure! What's more, I consider it bizarre that you think forum
members need a thorough historical understanding of their chosen
username, as well as the blessing of another member, before daring
to use it.
btw, Wellington Diamond United, 1980(81?). Stop Out won the
game. It was so cold that day that Tommy Hepinstall wore green
mittens for the whole game. Mind you, could be complete bollocks of
course....
Hear,hear STOP OUT.man...you call yourself what you
like....Dairy flat makes me think of your clubs man McCreadie
(brother of the great Eddie) who I eventually found to be a
'prickly 'character in his attitude to me whenever we
played you.Could never fully understand why....Dairyflats
posting made me think of him straightaway!!
Just thought I would chip in here as a name dear to my heart has
popped up. That 'prickly' McCrreadie (Jimmy). Yep Jim
called it as he saw it and upset a lot of people but hey what a guy
- a true Stop Out loyal who has done so much for football in the
Valley for over 50 years - not a bad record and he is still going -
would you believe it played in the Seatoun club celebrations a few
weeks ago.

Like others on this topic my memory of SO is the National league days, 70's very memorable. As well as Jim there are a few other names i recall, Peter ,jim and Dick Dunn, Charlie Duncan, Arie Molenaar, Wilf Prince these are only a few that I recall and will probably remember more soon as I post this.
Stop Out you keep your name I cant go along with the guy who said you dont deserve it.
I'm not really Alex Ferguson
