Who was your footy hero growing up?

[BluesBrother08]

I used to love Mick Redden when I was younger then Brodie Atkinson when he was at North Adelaide. But I remember after the 91 GF loving Steven Sims especially once we went back to prospect that night.

[westcoastpanther]

First ever was Silvio Fachini, back in the days when the Swans were on most Sundays!!

Gary Ablett Snr - best player to play the game.
Scott Hodges - so many great moments for Port.
Glen Jakovich

[westozfalcon]

SANFL - Mark Naley, Andrew Jarman

VFL - Bernie Quinlan, Warrick Capper, Michael Conlan

[OnSong]

Tony "Godra" Modra

[Gingernuts]

Matthew Liptak was the favourite in our family, good honest footballer who's career was curbed by injuries.

Always gave his all and one of the nicest blokes you'll ever meet. A real shame he missed out on a premiership medallion.

Remember his getting "shot" in the hamstring at Kardinia Park that day?

I don't actually, must've missed that game. Just remember that everytime you thought he'd get on top of his injuries he'd do something else, poor bugger.

[Gingernuts]

Mind you, he's a successful doctor now I believe, so he's probably not that poor actually.

He performed a couple of bouts of surgery on my knee, so you're right, he's probably not too poor!!!

He was a super nice bloke while I was getting fixed up. Always had time to answer your questions and have a quick chat about the footy too.

[saintal]

Lockett, Frawley and Winmar in the early 90s, then Burke and Loewe.

Fairly predictable

[Dog_ger]

At first I thought Big John Nichols of Carlton.

Strong man Ruckman.

But then I thought Noel Teasdale.

Coached Woodville way back.

His voice scared the SH*T outa me.

Yes, Noel Teasdale. #1

He could make the average stand up & be respected.

He would run through a Stobie Pole.

When he ran through a pack, you heard the Crack.

[carey]

i havnt grown up yet but my hero was and still is wayne carey greatest center half forward of all time.
