If you're still chasing images could be worth contacting Jeff Coulls [manager, in the photo] or Dick Butler, who was well up in the State and national basketball hierarchy at that time and just might have something.

Hey Moses, Brilliant photo and fun trying to name them all.

I didn't even know the club had put that info on their site.

Thanks for that and everyone else for the comments.

I'm pretty sure the Adelaide City Eagles became the 36ers before the amalgamation with West Adelaide and Mike Osborne was the first 36ers coach, not Ken Cole. ( this is supported on 36ers website- history board)

Neither Kym Borrett nor Mike Osborne themselves have any resonable photos of the team from that time. I guess cameras were not part of everybodys jewelery as they are these days. Not so many photos were taken and it certainly not so easy to get and keep good quality photos.

If anybody knows any of the other players form that era who might have team photos the Whyalla basketball Association would love to know.

Scott Ninnis played for the Buffaloes. They were like a feeder team for the 36ers dominted the SEABL for a while.

Certainly was a Buffalo team. Juniors and others from memory. Played in the second-tier national comp that existed then.

36ERS & Buffalo names were complementary - 1836 the year in which Adelaide was settled [by Europeans] and 'The Buffalo' the name of the ship in which they arrived.

Seem to recall Albert Leslie coached the Buffalos to a premiership, but I would be well wrong, since this is all memory and no research.

<blockquote>The Adelaide 36ers are pleased to announce the signing of Matt Burston for the 2009/10 NBL season which commences with their first game against the Cairns Taipans in Cairns on 26th September. Head Coach of the Sixers, Scott Ninnis said The signing of Matt Burston is a tremendous coup for the new Adelaide 36ers as we continue to build our team for the 2009/10 season. Matt is one of the elite big men in the competition and brings not only championship experience and tremendous ability but also a great teammate and person as well. His decision to play for the 36ers is a huge vote of confidence for this club moving forward and working alongside Adam Ballinger will provide us with one of the very best frontcourts in the competition. Having worked with Matt before, I am very excited about his signing and look forward to him being a 36er for many years to come. The Club continues in negotiations with other key players to ensure a strong squad with great depth for the 2009/10 season.</blockquote>
