Don

Don Gulliver’s family immigrated to Australia in 1912 and soon made the western NSW town of Dubbo their home. Don was born at Dubbo in 1916 and learned his football there. He was first recorded playing with the Dubbo Rovers as a fifteen year old.

By the time he was twenty, Don had represented Dubbo against City Firsts and then Western Division against the touring England team.
