Congratulations to Anthony Knight on 400 games!
On Saturday, Anthony Knight achieved an incredible milestone, playing his 400th game against Coburg Districts!
The team didn't let him down, winning by 9 goals. Anthony played well, even sneaking forward in the last quarter to kick a goal.
Anthony started playing with North Coburg in 1981, beginning his playing career in the under 9's. When he was in the Under 14's he played in his first Grand Final, and he won his First club Best and Fairest award as an Under 18. He went on to play both senior and reserves football, playing in the historic North Coburg Reserves Premiership in 1993! He went on to win 3 Reserves Best and Fairest's and was also given the honour of captaining the team!
As well as his work on field Anthony coached the Under 18's in 2002 and 2003 and was Club Secretary from 2004 to 2012.
Anthony has been a great player for the club - an incredibly tough defender who has always put the team first. He has devoted hours upon hours of his time to helping the club, without asking for recognition. Above all he has been a fantastic person, the perfect club man and a great role model for everybody at the club to look up to. He is the type of person every club needs, and we at the Northern Saints have been very lucky to have him here.
Well done Knighter!!
