A talented centreman particularly renowned for his excellent ground play, Peter Koerner played a total of 62 games for Norwood between 1954 and 1957, and in 1960 and 1961. In between he spent two seasons as captain-coach of North Adelaide, steering the red and whites to a commendable third place in 1958, but overseeing a lamentable slump to second from last, with just four wins from 18 games, the following year. Koerner played interstate football for South Australia on four occasions.
