Grenville Dietrich is one of the most popular and richest Australian Rules Footballer who was born on March 5, 1960 in Mildura, Australia. Grenville Dietrich (born 5 March 1960) is a retired Australian Rules football player who played for the North Adelaide and West Torrens soccer clubs of the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) between 1982 and 1988.

Dietrich Tops North Adelaide’s goal scoring list in both 1983 in 1984 and 1983, both scoring more than 100 goals during the entire season. However, both times he didn’t win his Ken Farmer Medal as the top goal-kicker in the SANFL because Rick Davies (Sturt – 151 in 1983) and Tim Evans (Port – 127 in 1984) have scored more goals in each of the seasons. While he didn’t win the award, he became the first person who has ever played in SANFL history to kick twice more than 100 goals in one season, but not to be the top goal-kicker.

Before his knee injury, Dietrich’s form saw him play two State of Origin games for South Australia in 1986, kicking seven goals. This included 4 goals in the Croweaters 18.17 (125) to 17.13 (115) win over Victoria at Football Park in front of 43,143 fans. Grenville also represented Victoria in the victorious Victorian Teal Cup side in 1977 and was rewarded with All Australian selection at Centre Half Forward with such players as Roger Merrett, Doug Hawkins, Stevie Wright, Mark Boss, Glen Hawker, Justin Maddern, Neale Daniher, just to name a few

At the end of 1986, Dietrich and Nunan, who weren’t getting along with each other, sat down to talk about the future. Cearns, who had recently been appointed the Football Director at West Torrens, approached him about the possibility of moving to the Eagles in 1987. Dietrich signed with Torrens, who in return sent Steven Sims, John Roberts and Sean Tasker to the Roosters. Despite his differences with Nunan, Dietrich still holds his coaching in high regard and has stated his preferred option was to stay at North Adelaide.

Following his return home to Mildura, Grenville Dietrich was recognized by an ex- North Adelaide player David Cearns who was visiting town to watch his brother-in law, Mildura assistant coach Neville Caldow. Cearns provided Dietrich’s name to North Adelaide, and one or two years later, he received a visit from a group from the club that convinced that he should join the Roosters in 1982.
