He's never been head coach or president either.

But ask the Patties' old-timers about their rich 100-year history and 'Renners' name invariably comes up.

Renshaw has been the glue.

For the past 33 years, the 64-year-old has taken on every job thrown at him from setting up the ground on match day to being team manager to selling raffle tickets.

It's been his life.

"I was a scout leader and my off-sider was in partnership with Mick Baz," he said.

"Mick was looking for an under-12 coach for cricket and I did that for one reason.

"Ninety per cent of those kids who played cricket were also playing footy so I went along and had a look.

"The following season I ended up on the committee and I've been there since."

The St Patrick's life member has seen enormous change at Xavier High School Oval since coming on board in 1986 and praised the club's loyal band of workers for it remaining strong.

He said mateship had been the highlight of his time.

"The point I make to everyone is if you don't get involved you don't make friends," he said.

"If you are involved you make long-lasting friends which I have.

"Thirty-three years is half my life virtually.

"When I first got started we only had an old caravan for the canteen, we used lime for the line marking and had lace-up goal post pads."

Fellow St Patrick's life member Leo Percy has also witnessed change since he started playing for the club as a nine-year-old.

He remembers the competition having sub midgets, midgets and junior grades and playing at grounds like Noreuil Park and Billson Park.

Percy also recalls the rivalry the inclusion of The Scots School Albury created with St Patrick's in the 1970s.

"I think I had 35 years at the club all-up," Percy said.

"I started playing at nine which was a couple of years before I should have.

"Then I coached for six or seven and, after going away for a while, I came back and spent some time as president, secretary and treasurer.

"A lot of people have come and gone over the years and reaching 100 is a big achievement by the club."

St Patrick's will hold its 100-year reunion at Albury's Commercial Club on July 6.

Former players will speak about the history of the club with information about the evening able to be found on the club's facebook page.
