pound for pound toughest s.a footballers

[Iron Fist]

Damien Williamson from Henley. Skinny half back, that has no respect for his body. Generally plays on bigger opponents and is rarely beaten one on one. Could do some serious damage if he had an extra 10kg on his frame.

Have to agree, some of the positions I have seen him get himself in you start to question if its courage or he was dropped on his head as a kid. Great bloke and gun footballer

Greg and Jerry Ant - two brothers who I remember playing a season for Lenswood back in the early 70's I believe. Used to take multiple hits and bounce back up, had no real respect for their bodies. I remember one day against the Pleasant Valley Roos when the two bumped into eachother in a marking contest in the first quater, Jerry turned around after and gave his brother one of the greatest right hooks I've ever seen! After being knocked out, Greg eventually bounced back up and booted 7 for the day in a memorable win! After a few Eagle Blue's they were best mates again! I believe Greg is now doing some part time assistant coaching at SMOSH West Lakes in his spare time.

Had a bloke out at West Lakes for just the one season (IIRC - was a long time ago now), Scotty Clark, who was a top lad, really chilled out and cruisy sort of bloke.

He wasn't tall and wasn't solid either, but seriously pound for pound this bloke was one of the hardest players I can remember seeing .. Would smash into opponents much bigger and stronger looking and when he tackled someone, they stayed tackled and knew all about it.

Don't really know what became of him, but always remember the way he went about it.

He coaches football in Port Lincoln

Leroy Kennedy, RMFL in late 80's and early 90's, played for I think Jamestown or somewhere before that I think.

Peterborough. Have had a fair bit do do with Leroy through family, my old man always said he was a tough nut.

Leroy played for Peterborough, he played in the Saint Shine in 1979 Premiership side with my Dad, Dennis Russell, Doggy O'Dea and other greats with Mike Underwood as coach (Kelly Underwood Channel 10 - Dad.)

In 1980 when Port Broughton entered the Northern Areas Competition as Premiers from another league (Upper Yorke Peninsular), they had a great rivalry, Peterborough beat them by 10 goals at Broughton - Later that night a massive fight broke out and an ex-con (Player from PB) got the shits with Leroy & glassed his face. I was (8) and there in the Port Broughton Hotel.

Yes he was tough!!!!!!!

He still wears the scar, too.

I'm not sure if my uncle was playing in that premiership year- Bill Dearlove?

Cheers mate. He would have probably been listed as William.

I think he played around that time, not quite sure whether he played in the premiership year though.
