Career
Originally from Katanning, Western Australia, Quartermaine made his debut for East Perth in 1969, at the same time completing an economics degree at the University of Western Australia, where he also played for the university"s football club in the Western Australian Amateur Football League (WAAFL). Quartermaine retired in 1979, having played 108 games for East Perth, and later served as general manager of the Subiaco Football Club (from 1979 to 1980). Quartermaine was born and grew up in Katanning, Western Australia, playing under-17s football at the age of 11 and making his debut for the Katanning Wanderers in the Upper Great Southern Football League (UGSFL) at the age of 15.
The WANFL had no country zoning at the time, and several clubs wished to recruit him, with East Perth eventually signing him.
He played four games in the 1969 season, but most of his time was devoted to completing an economics degree at the University of Western Australia. He represented the University"s football club in the Western Australian Amateur Football League (WAAFL) in the 1970 and 1971, gaining Amateur All-Australian selection in both seasons, and playing in the club"s 1971 premiership.
Quartermaine returned to East Perth for the 1972 season after the completion of his studies, missing out on the club"s grand final loss due to a three-week suspension for rough play in the second semi-final. He was selected for Western Australia in 1974, leading to offers from several Victorian Football League (VFL) clubs, which he turned down.
Quartermaine took the 1978 season off to complete an honours degree in economics, and played only two games in 1979 before retiring due to injury.
In July 2011, Quartermaine was charged with assaulting a female bouncer at a public in Fremantle.
