Sydney's Henry Playfair has been forced into retirement with a serious back injury.
Playfair, who played 68 AFL games - 16 for Sydney and 52 for Geelong - suffered a serious back injury in the Round 14 match against Richmond at the MCG and after receiving medical advice has decided to end his AFL career at just 27.
"When I found out I'd done some damage to my back it was a bit of a shock. At first I didn't know what it meant for my season, and then I spoke further to the doctor and the physio and it looked like my season was over," Playfair told the club's website.
"I then had to make a decision about next year, and coming off the troubles I've had previously with hamstring injuries over the past couple of seasons, the back was another indication that my body is not up to it at this stage."

Wasn't quite up to it was ol Hank. Great set of hands but a bit slow and not a great kick. One thing about H though, he always had a crack.

With a surname like his he always "..Played the game as it should be played..."
