A fantastic footballing story and a fantastic defender in his prime. The Geelong QF back in 2013 springs to mind instantly, he was superb that day.

Thanks Spurry and all the best.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Lee Spurr has announced his retirement.

Thank You for your commitment to the club and in particular, being a leader to the young guys coming through the past four years.

You were a tough, no frills, hard at it defender that always put his body on the line and was the ultimate team man; the Ross Lyon soldier.

All the best for yourself and your family in the future.

 

[Purpletown]

Gave his all for Freo. Well done Lee.

 

[rgauci]

Well done. He was an impenetrable wall against Geelong at skilled in that final. Immense.

 

[Belnakor]

he was huge in our GF year and our years when we were competitive. Sad to see him go - not sure what happened to his knee but when you draft a mature ager i guess they are always on a shorter timer than others.

 

[MadDocker]

Had some great games for us in his time.

 

[DeanS]

Future assistant coach?

 

[Belnakor]

btw i believe he has the highest winning percentage for a fremantle docker?

 

[go_the_dockers]

Played some great game. He will be missed. Always showed up in the big games.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Congrats on all you've achieved in your career Lee, best of luck in the future.

Now go & make some babies!

 

[Marty Whitelaw]

A tough but who gave his all for the club.

His efforts in the 2013 finals series were superb. I re-watched the 2013 qualifying final in Geelong the other day and he was unstoppable that day.

 

[Okinakashi]

Congrats on all you've achieved in your career Lee, best of luck in the future.

Now go & make some babies!

He's made 2 (actually 1 and 7/8th's - number 2 is due next week)

Loved the way this fella played his footy.
A players player.
Shed more Claret than any I can think of.

I imagine he'd have a bit to offer around the place in some capacity.

Now go & make some babies!

Wife is currently pregnant??
Daughter Isla suggests a bit of Scots heritage mibbe?

Good Bloke too.
Never king hit a kid.

 

[poshman]

Played some ripper games for us and formed a key cog of a formidable defensive unit - Macca - Johnson - Spurr - Ibbo

A very successful mature age selection. Stoked we got him, he should be proud of his career. Wish him the very best!

 

[ShockersBoy11]

Earned his spot in the team pretty quickly and was pretty good down back for a few years. Thanks Spurry!!!!

 

[Barrysballs]

btw i believe he has the highest winning percentage for a fremantle docker?

Barlow?
Not including GC of course

 

[TheLastCall]

Great player for the club.

We will miss him. Sad he can't get up for a farewell game.

 

[yoong]

Was an important part of our back 6. At his best, he plays a very courageous brand of football that I admire a lot.
Wish him well.

 

[Mr Fonebone]

Well played Lee

I really do think they should have Played him forward at least a few times .

 

[scon]

Dunno who the supporter is but the banner's groovy.

 

[Freoforever86]

Bit of a scapegoat when we went down hill, but when we were up top, he was an absolute rock in defense.

His marking was 1st class.

 

[Schauermann]

Liked him a lot. Body let him down, surely not his attitude. Thanks.

 

[FreoRicci]

Absolute legend. He was such a good mark for his height, put his body on the line and just gave it his all.
Only 5 goals in his career, but will always remember that goal in the 2013 QF.
Congrats Spurr on a great story and career

 

[clivenator26]

Good player, great leader. He got everything out of himself, courageous, bled for the club plenty of times.

 

[aussieviking]

n assistant coach
