The Best you have seen? – by Barrie Robran

Club Legend Barrie Robran wanted to recognise the talent of a certain young bloke at our footy club (North Adelaide), so took to the keyboard to share this article us…

Who is the best kick for goal that you have ever seen ??

I have watched many great goal-kickers over a very long period of time.

Some names that spring to mind are Neville Roberts [when playing full-forward for Norwood], John Sandland was good, Tim Evans from Port Adelaide was right up there, but I have always regarded, until quite recently, that Norwood's Roger Woodcock was the most accurate goal-converter that I have seen.

Until, along came Lewis Johnston.

This boy now leads this honour, literally, by a "country mile".

His unerring accuracy and consistency abounds from any angle, distance and situation.

Congratulations young fellow, it is an absolute pleasure watching you kick for goal in a Red and White guernsey.
