SA Footy

Looking at Wedgies post about Bill Wedding playing 19 state games who played the most ?
Is there a list of who played the most games ?

Walter Scott holds the record with 39 I think. Lindsay Head played 37.

6 mins.....was there ever any doubt....

39 !!!!!!! Oh well he was a Norwood player so thats ok......the old timers say he was maybe the best ever.
I say Lindsay Head play and he was an absolute freak slow as slow but no one could grab him. Beautiful drop kick too.

Is there a list of state games played ? Dont want much do I ?

Makes you wonder though...guys like Ricuto...McLeod....Bassett...Goodwin......how many will they play ?
Bring back state footy !!!!

Others high up..

Fos Williams 34
Neil Kerley 32
Russell Ebert 29
John Cahill 29
Geoff Motley 28
Bob Hank 27
Ken Eustice 25
Graham Cornes 21
Rick Davies 20
Brenton Adcock 20
Greg Phillips 20

Forgot about this one - I post in too many threads

The Carnivals played in those times helped the state game tally. Head played all of these matches by 1964; there were a further 18 matches after this he didn't play in.
