​Paul O'Brien's Legacy
Aspley Little Athletics is forever indebted
​to the  work of Paul O'Brien (O.A.M.).

​Mr O'Brien, a former Chief Legal Officer of the Brisbane City Council, was instrumental in the development and success of Aspley Little Athletics and Aspley Athletics and his contributions to  Little Athletics Queensland were recognised  by the granting of  life membership in 2002. Paul's other awards included life membership to  Queensland Athletics in 2004,  a  Premier of Queensland Sports Federation Service to Sport Award in 2000 and a  National Sports Medal from the Federal Government in 2001.  Paul O'Brien Oval was named in his honour  in 1999.

​His wonderful work and dedication  for over thirty  years is continued by his ever enthusiastic wife Rosslyn. We are eternally grateful for Ros's involvement in the Club and look forward to seeing her happy face at our weekly competitions and Club functions .
