His administrative life began back in 1984 when he served on the committee of the Institute club before going on to fill the role of league delegate.
Green filled the positions of president of University and secretary on two separate occasions. He has also served as president, vice-president and treasurer of AFL Darling Downs, while having also previously had the distinction of being vice-president of the now defunct South Queensland Australian Football Association and delegate to the Queensland Country Council.
Green currently serves as AFLDD president and is honoured to count himself in what is an illustrious group. “We’ve only got 10 life members over 40 years, so it’s not something that is given out on an annual basis,” he said. “I was extremely honoured.
“It’s not something you work for, you don’t set out saying my goal is to be a life member, your goal is to do what you enjoy doing and I seem to enjoy football administration because I was a pretty ordinary player. So I’m obviously very honoured, very chuffed. It was great.”
And although receiving life membership tends to indicate one is nearing the end of their official involvement, Green is keen to continue in his role. “It seems like to get life membership, you’re around so long that you’re coming to the end of it when you get it, which is unfortunate because if you’re a life member, you have a lot to offer,” he said.
“My intention is to stand for president next year and see what happens after that.
