Steven Baker still remembers his first game for the Saints.
It was round two of season 1998 (squizzy - it was actually 1999).
“I remember I had the kick and I had Robert Harvey leading towards me and I was sh–ting myself,” Baker told The Colac Herald.
“I thought ‘I can’t miss this kick – that’s Robert Harvey’, but luckily enough I managed to hit the kick,” he said.
(on 200 games) “It’s a bit of an honour, I’ve been given life membership with the Saints so hopefully in a couple of years I’ll be taking the kids along to games – I guess I’ve just got to find that special girl first though.”
Baker, the son of Greg and Gayle Baker, credited Loewe, Harvey, skipper Nick Riewoldt, Leigh Montagna and good friend Lenny Hayes as players he felt privileged to play alongside and named Carlton gut-runner Chris Judd as his toughest opponent.
Baker, 31, acknowledges younger sister Vicki by pulling a face each time the Saints belt out their theme song, and credits his older brother Mick for his career in the sport. “I started off playing basketball when I was younger until I was 15 when Mick conned me into playing footy,” he said. “I was a bit rough for basketball and too short for the NBA anyway.
Post-football, Baker will continue working with Mick and Greg at nutritional company FreeLife.
