People forget Frosty has been with the club for 10 years, very serviceable and it will be sad when he leaves at the end of this season....

Frosty's best year was 2001. He was wearing the 13 by then, so I'm not sure about that theory.

His 96 GF was ordinary, but he had a lot of mates. His PF was excellent.

Players don't reach the 100 milestone through being a dud. Favouritism just doesn't last that long.

Leo Higgins was better known as Leon Higgins. Ended up with the Hawks (?)

[Hitman44]

Leo Higgins from Tocumwal ended up at the Hawks in #47 and played only one game......

[barry]

Its LEON Higgins. I went to school with him.
Didnt he have knee trouble at the end of his career at the swans?

Steady on Nico...he's only been playing for 10...

Right on, apologies he was Leon (how quickly we forget) for more trivia, he actually bobbed up playing hooker for a weird mob in a rugby league (world) sevens or something a few years back. Leon always had a red hot go in our dark days and always seemed to be the one dropped (an old bugbear of mine) perhaps it was the the Trojan Dork Col Kinnear coaching at the time, merely sabotaging the Bloods!

Further trivia, I saw Barry Mitchell the other day??..he lives in my street and I didn?t know it.

More trivia for Swannies buffs, evidently John Elliott's old pad, the one he sold under his wife in Toorak, had a huge Swans banner on it last weekend,did any of you guys buy this place?

[monopoly19]

Well, I did mention that it was a stupid question in the thread title...

But thanks for the replies My foray into online support has only occured very recently and some of the nicknames have me confused. I always just called him Macca, but I guess that's too obvious (and would fail in all attempts to confuse new members).

And Nico, the 'he' is a 'she', and she only woke up from her coma yesterday.

If only they kept the stats, Leon Higgins would be the Swans' #1 OOBOTF kick EVER. If he'd played on the other side of the ground he might have won a Brownlow.

OK, how about we trade him to Hawthorn in return for Hodge, Ries or Holland?

Or Joel Smith. Every time we play them his polish in getting the ball out of defence always impresses me.

Even if I abused him as being a Woodstock-devotee 40 years behind the times a couple of weeks back.

We get Johnny Hay and Joel Smith. You get Nicks and McPherson, and because I'm generous one of those new Chicken Turnovers at McDonalds. And a set of steak knives!
