Max Basheer AM (born 1927) is a former administrator with the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). He was involved in a number of keys decisions affecting the SANFL in the 1970s – 1990's, ultimately leading to the inclusion of two South Australian sides in the Australian Football League (AFL). Born in 1927 to Lebanese immigrants,〔(''Multicultural Life'' ), December 2005 (pdf format)〕 in the early 1950s Basheer was a state amateur rover who was denied a SANFL League football career when North Adelaide refused to clear him to Sturt. Basheer’s administrative football career began in 1954 when he served as an honorary solicitor to the South Australian Amateur Football League and as a Commissioner to the League’s Tribunal. In what was probably his most celebrated contribution to the sport, Basheer served as vice president and president of the South Australian National Football League from 1967–2003. This was a period in which, over and above the usual administrative tasks, he oversaw: * the building of Football Park (AAMI Stadium); * the installation of lights to the stadium () – which took 6½ years and involved a Royal Commission;and * the introduction of South Australia's two AFL teams, Adelaide and Port Adelaide. The Max Basheer Reserve, which adjoins AAMI Stadium, was named in honour of Basheer’s contribution to the game. == Football highlights == ADMINISTRATION RECORD : *South Australian Amateur League Commissioner 1954–1960 *SANFL Commissioner 1962–1966 *SANFL Senior Vice President 1967–1978 *SANFL Management Committee (Chairman 1978/79) 1969–1979 *SANFL Commissioner for Country and Junior Football (Chairman 1978 )1971–1978 *Football Park Finance and Development Committee (Chairman 1978) 1975–1989 *SANFL President (25 years longest serving President) 1978–2003 *Foundation SA – Trustee 1988 1992 *SA Football Commission – Chairman 1990–2003 *Australian Football Hall of Fame Committee 1996–2002 *SA Football Hall of Fame Committee 2001 – present ACHIEVEMENTS : *Awarded SANFL Life Membership 1972 *Member of the Order of Australia for services to the game of Australian Football 1988 *Awarded AFL Life membership 1996 *Inducted to the SANFL Hall of Fame In 2003 *Inducted to the Australian Football Hall of Fame – the first South Australian football administrator so honoured 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Max Basheer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
