Ken farmer

Post by Firstblood on Fri 12 Mar 2010, 12:14 pm



Ken Farmer is the most legendary goalkicker in the history of South Australian football. His exploits are unparalleled.
He kicked 1419 goals from 224 games, booting a century every year from 1930 to 1940. It must be remembered that there were less matches per season in those days. In addition, he scored another 50 from 10 State matches. Not only was Farmer a dead eye dick from all angles, he was also a fine mark. Perhaps his finest achievement was booting 23 goals against West Torrens in 1940.
Farmer captained the Roosters in five seasons and was a two time premiership player (1930, 1931), but strangely won only one best and fairest (1936). Coaching the club from 1949 to 1952, he won two flags (1949, 1952) and was runner up once (1951). He also coached the State team in 1954.
Ken Farmer was deservedly inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame in 1998

This guy was the Bradman of football, a very worthy champion.
