Glenelg Hall of Fame

[Wedgie]

but has also coached the senior team, filled in as runner, and is still seen on the hill at games more often than not. That (in my eyes at least) makes him much more a legend of the club than many others from his era, irrespective of their relative playing abilities.

Yeah, but even I could coach a team to not win a flag, run out a few messages and drink piss on the hill, I don't think I'll be regarded as a Legend or in Glenelg's Hall of Fame though.

No Wedgie, you are a Glenelg legend for supplying grog when the club ran out...

Well done to both...
Symo played a important part in my all time favourite goal I've seen...

Central had scored a behind at the Northern End, Gibbsy took the kick in...a HUGE screwy into the middle of the bay, with big Supe and the Central ruckman one out...Supe deftly palmed it to a dashing Symo steaming past, one bounce, goal....

All in all took about 15 seconds for a coast to coast...SUPERB !

I reckon Symo was a link man (or on the end of) a similar goal in the 2nd quarter of the 86 GF

I think you mean this one Hondo, this has to be a favourite goals of yours Sjab, it is mine:

Wayne Henwood punches from behind following a Peter Bennett free kick into Norths half forward line, Mark Donovan picks up the crumbs and gives to McDermott. Bones pumps it forward, where Hall attacks the footy and takes a grab over Mick Parsons. On hands and knees Hall gives it to Maxy Maynard who gets on his bike and carry's the footy towards the edge of the crentre square, he takes a bounce and spears a pass into the forward zone to where Adam Garton is on a lead. Befotre it gets to Garts, Symo intercepts the ball on the fly, he runs, steadies and pierces the perpendiculars from 30 m for his 3rd goal. "Oh, the Bays are on fire!! 10 2 to Norths 3 2" says David Darcy.

As Daisy Day says: "This is unbelieveable football by Glenelg. They're pinpointing the passes brilliantly, that one from Maynard actually hit Symonds while he was flat as a strap, he didn't have to break stride and he booted a most magnificent goal. And Glenelgs first quarter and six minutes has been the best football I've seen all season"

*sigh - memories*

I remember that one as if it was yesterday........
