Andre Kulpe - 400 games for Hope Valley FC

Postby S Demon » Mon Jun 27, 2011 9:56 pm

Current players, past players, friends, supporters and former opponents are all welcome to the Hope Valley Football Club this Friday, July 1st, to help Andre Kulpe celebrate his 400th game for Hope Valley.

The C5 game v Trinity OS starts at 7.30pm at Hope Valley Oval. So come along and "embrace" a wonderful achievement by a club legend and feel free to bring along your red wig in support of a man who has had the same haircut since birth.

Great achievement Andre and all the best for Friday night!!

Congrats to Andre. A career at HVFC spanning 30+ years is a massive effort and becomes only the second player in history of the demons to play 400 games. A true club champion and a fantastic bloke, all the best for friday night mate and here is hoping the boys get the right result!

gun footballer.. saw him play last year for the 1st time... i personally thought he was your best player by far, only player i got tagged for the year :oops:. very smart footballer and for the short time i got to meet him, he was a top bloke.
400 games is a tremendous effort. much respect. hope you have a win for him...

He did in 1986 I think. Tied for the medal with his brother, Kevin. Even after the countback they couldn't separate them!

Found this pic of Andre when he was a lad....

Congrats on 400 games. Have stood him a few times and been given a bath. Hope it's a great day for all and good to see a good 1-club person these days
