Fremantle Football Club
In April 2010, Eskimo Joe were announced as number-one ticket-holder for the Fremantle Football Club, replacing golfer Nick O'Hern. Quartermain joked that they might pen a club song, "We'll give it a crack. We're back here this winter writing our new record so, while we're at it, we may as well knock off a new theme song". The band held the honour until 2012, being replaced by Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith.

Famous quotes containing the words football and/or club:
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 44 (February 1870)
