Goldsworthy Tigers were formed by Angus (Gus) Matheson. He was their first coach.
The town of Goldsworthy had the first grassed footy oval in the Pilbara.
The photo below was taken at the Port Hedland race track. Note the oval was not grassed back then until the 1970s when Colin Matheson was elected to the Port Hedland Shire Council. Port Hedland finally got a grassed oval in the middle of the race track.
North Pilbara Football League History 
In 1980 Michael Giles played for Goldsworthy. The coach was Ian O’Brien and Baz Ford was the secretary.
My name is Terry Rolfe. I played for the Tigers in 1969 and 1970 ..with Harry Newman and the Mitchell’s to name a few. Got some old photos somewhere. Will try to dig them up and put them on for this site.
Hello Terry. This is a blast from the past from Harry Newman. Good to hear that you remember the good old days of Pilbara football.

Hi, Harry,
Andrew Willis here – not football related – but back on my old track of “has anyone got a copy of the old Goldsworthy Christmas video from 1971/1972”? I look back fondly on the heady days of exploration in Mining Area C.
My wife found a fairest and best de grey medal for a W Carey for 1972 for Goldsworthy FC. Are they still around and would they want it?
Thank you. It would be great to put the medal with other Goldsworthy memorabilia.
Good morning, I believe I’m the one in Your photo, (Goldsworthy Tigers Best and Fairest) I would very much appreciate You forwarding the aforementioned photo to the email address below. …. Kind Regards, Bill Carey.
