SOS announces retirement

[GOALden Hawk]

Good onya SOS, a fantastic player who still played good footy right up to his retirement, unlike some *cough* Michael Long *cough*.

And Rohan, how many of your good Skob buddies have played 300 games like SOS - a Marcellin boy??? Or are they all too busy getting thrashed in the VAFA???

Agree with Grendel.......whilst I don't like SOS, he was a talented footballer who got the most out of his abilities and was rewarded with a great career, a couple of premiership medals, and will go down in the game's history as a Carlton legend. Best wishes for his retirement.

I saw the headline and thought "oh NO!" but I was half expecting it any day now.

I wish he had played in Sydney so I could see him hovering around the back one last time....[we were late to the SCG and I scanned both ends of the field ('cause he was a forward this year more than back) & then puzzled, asked the crowd around me "where's SOS?" and to a man they said "who?"] sigh But I digress.

Good luck Steve! thanks.

Goodluck SOS

Its a shame hes had to finish his career. A top player!!
Still reckon Denchy was a better fullback

Was a fine representative for his club and played with distinction, although IMHO ,i would have put Geoff Southby in front as full back of the century.

I'm still not coping too well knowing that we won't see those sexy legs out on the field anymore
Anyway, he has had an outstanding career. Looking forward to channel 10's coverage next year.
Oh and Rohan, in the 1979 Grand Final, the ball was OUT!!!!!
