“When I retire and my children and grandchildren ask about the opposition footballers who left an impression on me, it will be a thrill to say to them that I played on one of the best full-forwards of all time. Mind you, whenever Tony Lockett kicked goals against me, he also left me looking forward to the day that he retires and gives me a break! But it is an honour to say I played on him.”

Those are the words of Stephen Silvagni, arguably the greatest full-back who ever lived and the full-back of the team of the century, who played 312-games for Carlton where he earned five All-Australian guernseys.

Safe to say there was a day nearly 30 years ago when St Kilda legend Tony Lockett made Silvagni look like anything but the best key defender of all-time. On April

On April 8, 1989, Lockett had Moorabbin rocking. It was the second round of the season and the Saints were bristling after coming off an opening round win, while the navy Blues were coming off a poor performance first-up.

In the most famous duel between the two icons of the 1990’s, ‘Plugger’ kicked two goals in the opening quarter to set the tone for a big day ahead.

From there he bagged a few more before half-time and then ‘Sos’ got on top of the battle in the third term, holding the St Kilda superstar goalless.

At three-quarter time, the scores were level at a packed Linton Street. Lockett booted two goals early in the last quarter to give the Saints some momentum but it quickly sailed back in Carlton’s direction with a Blues goal in the 31st minute giving the visitors a two-point advantage.

From there, Lockett etched himself into Moorabbin folklore once again. With Nicky Winmar moving with the ball further afield, he led towards him with Silvagni trailing him like a caravan. Silvagni couldn’t do anything more to stop ‘Plugger’ plucking the ball in the dying seconds.

As the clock ticked down, Lockett converted his 10th from 45 metres out. Moments later, the siren sounded sending Moorabbin into pandemonium.

‘Plugger’ finished with 10.7 in one of his most famous battles in his decorated career. It was a day Saints fan will never forget.
