Players who'll be remembered for just one thing...

[sandeano]

My apologies if this topic has been raised before (more thn likely it has, every facet of the great game seems to have been covered).

What players, no matter how many games they played and fine performances they put in are probably sick and tired of talking about that one incident, good, bad or unusual?

Some obvious examples -

Barry Breen played 300 games for the Saints, but he is rarely mentioned without reference to the point he kicked to win the 1966 GF.

Teddy Hopkins - the 1970 GF

Jeff Fehring - THAT looooonnnng kick.

who else?

 

[saiak]

Milburn --- Can't think of any better example

Bruns --- For being on the brunt of the Lethal hit

- Robert Klomp for winning a TV as BOG in a night game after apparently only getting a couple of possesions

- Kerry Good for kicking the winning goal in controversial circumstances for North Melbourne v Collingwood in the 1980 night Grand Final

- Geelong's Garry Sidebottom for missing the bus to pick him up before the 1981 Preliminary Final against Collingwood

- Brisbane's Ray Windsor, for kicking a goal after the siren to draw a game at Carrara against West Coast in 1992

- Darren Cuthbertson, for his one spectaular match for Melbourne against Collingwood on Anzac Day, 1991

Wayne Harmes will always be remembered for punching the ball to Sheldon from what was inside the boundary line, despite what some Collingwood criticals might think.

What? Not his total domination of Carey in the '98 GF?

Shaun Smith for taking that speckie at the Gabba in the last round in 1995, with the camera flash going off in the background.
