Hopefully a keen historian for the Sydney Swans can help me out with my query regarding a former player from the 80's. Unfortunately the Sydney Swans did not have any statistics available.

A friend of mine named Chris Storich played about 6 games for Sydney Swans in the mid to late 80's era. He soon had to retire from the Swans after a knee injury incident at training after kicking 6 goals against Collingwood at the MCG. Apparently Chris was being a little cocky jogging with a couple of photographers floating around after his 6 goals that he tripped on a sprinkler and that was the end of his AFL footy career. So the story goes anyway.

I would appreciate it if anyone had any statistics on Chris's games (including reserves) with the Swans.

Someone should be able to help.

As a last resort for you, there is a book of all players to ever play VFL/AFL footy. I don't have the book myself, but I'm sure that will have his stats in it.

Mjh, just looking through the 1991 edition of the Encyclopedia of League Footballers and no sign of a Chris Storich. So, either your mate was having a lend of ya (:D) or I've got a faulty copy.

Are you sure you spelt his name right?
