He is remembered for being the player whose supposedly wayward handball was intercepted by Barry Breen that resulted in the winning point for St Kilda in the 1966 VFL Grand Final; however, this is a misnomer, as the ball spilled free and was never actually handballed.[1]

He retired in 1972 with 182 games to his name, the most ever by a player without scoring a goal.[2]
