    Name the Best Swan to wear #11?

    Geez there are some good names to have worn this number, Maxfield, Bedford, Browning, Cazaly, Pratt.

    Maxfield for me, I never got the chance to see the other guys in the flesh and Stuey was a favourite of mine growing up. Still devastated he missed playing in the premiership.

    Cazaly,surely. He has a legendary status that extends beyond football, even beyond sport. Papley was brilliant in his all-too-brief career. Bedford deserves a mention, of course. Goodes is a pretty good name too.

    Peter Bedford for mine. If any one had ever seen the man play, then there would be no doubt. Certainly a quality player in a below average team. Silky smooth skills and a delivery second to none. His only weakness...... leaving us and going to Carlscum. Always one of my great idols, and a fantastic guy to boot. Always had time for the young fans.

    Great minds think alike Prims, word for word what I was going to say when I first saw the thread title!
    I love Joshua P and Trickie Dickie but Stewie will ALWAYS be my number one boy!

    Already nominated Pratt with #10.

    #11 - first choice is Roy Cazaly (was a superstar of his era), Peter Beford, then Mark Browning, closely followed by Stu Maxfield.

    Peter Bedford + Roy Cazaly, coin toss.

    ... doesn't have the same ring to it does it??

    Agree with Aaardie... It's a bees appendage between Cazaly and Bedford.
    ..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

    My dad said Cazaly was simply outstanding.

    No doubt Bedford and Papley were much better than Maxfield and Browning. Bedford and Papley were absolutely brilliant footballers, whereas the the other 2 were very good footballers.

    Papley was regarded as a poor track worker who would turn it on in games. In fact, as he told the story to my brother, he later found that he had something like a defective heart valve that left him short of breath at training and in games. He would inexplicably pull up at training, unable to continue. Skilton regarded Max as better than himself. Max had exquisite skills. A beautiful, accurate and long kick and terrific balance. Whereas Skilts worked extremely hard on his skills and fitness, Max was gifted his skills.
