Con Purser, an Australian association football player who represented his country and captained North Perth, died October 6, 2026, aged 95.

Born Conrad Purser in Collie on August 2, 1931, he played for North Perth in the Western Australian state league over 13 seasons, serving as captain for five. His time in the state competition was closely associated with the Perth club, where he combined a long playing tenure with a leadership role.

Purser made two appearances for Australia. One was a full international against South Africa; the other was against Ferencváros, a Hungarian club team. The appearances came in distinct match settings: a full international against a national side and a fixture against club opposition. Together, they record Purser’s involvement in Australian representative football beyond his state-league career. His 13 seasons at North Perth and five seasons as captain mark the principal details of his club record, while the two Australia appearances include both the South Africa international and the match against Ferencváros. He is also identified by his full name, Conrad Purser.
