    Legend #10 - Bobby Skilton

    Rounding out the Top 10 is probably our greatest swan to date. How could you not love this guy.

    If you asked Woosha, he didn't win a flag, so he can't be much good, only 3 silly medals!!

    The more comments that come out of woosha's mouth the more he reinforces what we all know,he is a tool.

    BTW....Skilts is the greatest player to pull on the Red and White.

    That was a great article on a great player and a great man.
    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

    A Tragedy that he only got to play in one final (1970 Ist Semi) at the end of his career. He was not at his peak but most of the 107,000 people there gave him a huge cheer as the team ran on the ground.
    (More than one tear shed for a champion to achieve one goal that we all thought had eluded him) - Thanks to Norm Smith for giving the team a winning culture that year.

    Bobby was as good as any player of his day. Regularly picked up 30+ possessions in an era when they had to be won (not cheap passes on the backline).

    He made watching the Swans a treat even though success was rare.

    There is a reason why Bobby loves Kirk in the modern team. Courage and determination in adversity.
