Another Demon Among the Angels

Reports are coming out of the Melbourne Football Club that arguably their greatest player of all time has passed away.




Robbie Flower was the vision of hope through a rather unsuccessful time for the Dees. Despite a listed playing weight of just 67kilos he was never one to shy away from the contest. He had speed to burn and was one of the first ever pristine ball users of the 70s.
This led to Brent Croswell using the following words to describe Flower in The Complete Guide to Australian Football;



"...beat Flower and you could just about retire from League Football because anything else smacked of anti-climax."



See highlights of the great man below.

Thanks for the memories Robbie. I hope you're enjoying a nice cold beer with Jimmy Stynes already. 

You are now a Demon among the Angels.
