Selection #6: Fatty Lumpkin
With pick 6 we select Fatty Lumpkin. Fatty played 221 games between S3-S16 winning a flag with the Roys and All SFA with the Swampies. He even squeezed a season in at the Gumbies where he had strong season in the ruck.
The Roys and Swampies to this day honour Fatty once a season as player from both sides play for the honour of the Fatty Lumpkin medal awarded by the captains of both sides in the match thread. fitzroybowiedog best summed this up.
Today we play today in honour of the late, great Fatty Lumpkin. A pioneer of the SFA, Fatty played 182 games over 12 seasons with the Roys and was a member of the S4 premiership team. Fatty captained the Roys, led it's goalkicking and was an all round champion Roy. He swapped the Maroon and Gorilla for the Swampies where he also won All-SFA selection in S9. Fatty was a staple player for the Roys, prolific, humourous and easy to befriend. He swapped back to the Roys, and eventually retired in Season 16.
Most old players in the league will know the name, although he may be a mystery and an enigma to many of the newer arrivals.
The Captains of the Roys and the Swamprats remember Fatty as a true gentleman of the game, who embraced and sculptured the essence of the SFA. We ask all who play today to participate in the spirit of fun, friendship and fair play that is Fatty Lumpkin's legacy.
At the conclusion of the match, both Captains will name a player from the opposing team who embodied these qualities, and these two players will be joint winners of the Fatty Lumpkin Medal
Vale FattyLumpkin. Very friendly bloke both on and off the fantasy footy field. A champion Roy from the golden era, and a major building block of the Roys history. And A Swampie who burned bright in his short time for the Rats.
