Nuttridge, who is employed by a travel agency, expects to work for one of the airlines in Perth. He has also written to the Western Australia Football Association, which passed his letter to clubs in the senior competition.

“I have had two replies, both from clubs in the top four, asking me for further details. I will contact them when 1 get to Perth,” Nuttridge said last evening. He played his last game for Canterbury on May 28 when he went on as a secondhalf replacement for D. Phillips in the match against the English F.A. touring side. Nuttridge had previously made 16 appearances for Canterbury since his debut in April, 1965.

He was converted to goalkeeper by the then Christchurch City player-coach, Mr G. Evans, played for the national under-235, and was chosen for the Asian tour at
