Pratt and Carlton to assist Peres Peace Team

This might be an interesting piece of trivia, Pratt himself was a bit of an early
trailblazer for Jewish footballers in Australia.

He is from a Polish Jewish background, born in Poland as Ryszard Przecicki.
His family moved to Australia when he was four years old, just before the
Second World War, and anglicised the name.

Even though he didn't go on to play VFL senior footy, he played under 19s
footy for Carlton in the 50s, winning the Morrish Medal for league best and
fairest in 1953.
