EFC Cryptic Challenge Thread

[Shane Hird]

I am talked about as a legend of Australian Rules Football.

1. I played over 180 league games for my club

2. I kicked over 400 goals in my career

3. My father was a trainer at the club.

4. I was on standby to play my first game at 15,but at the last minute the player turned up and I had to wait till the next year for my debut.

5. I once kicked a goal barefooted because the strap on my boot broke after taking one of the most famous marks in League history.

6. I was a Premiership player and captain of my club and played for Victoria many times.

******** Lee is correct

1906-1922 > 230 games and 707 goals for the magpie rabble

One of the Leagues first true star forward.

Try this one with your berocca.

I played for the Dons in the heady 70s. Like Nifty, I had a trusty left foot. Add that to my shock of hair, and I was heading for fame. Unfortunately, not too many games ensued, less than 100 If had only coffee sold so well in my time.
