Verrios moved to Hobart from Adelaide in 1982.
He has been on the Board of Olympia Warriors since 2001 and
has served as secretary and has been treasurer since 2009.
“My favourite moment was the 2015 win over South
Melbourne in the NPL quarter-finals,” Verrios said.
“But, it was not just the win,
but predicting the score line in a pre-match chat with the South Melbourne president
and hierarchy.”
Verrios was the treasurer before his
elevation to the presidency but feels that being a Board member made it a dual
role.
“My role was a dual role, as it
was not only being the treasurer of the Club, but also, as a board member,
making the day-to-day decisions on how best to take the club forward and to be
something special,” he said.
“It’s special because, firstly, the
club's heritage goes back to its humble beginnings from Greek migrants, including
my father.
“Secondly, it’s because of what
the club has become over its 60 years and that, in some way, my small role in
those changes made and the club’s growth makes me proud to be an Olympia FC
Warriors member and supporter.”
