Glenn Archer will be remembered long after he played his final game in the 2007 AFL season.
Awarded the ‘Players’ Choice Shinboner’ in 2007, ‘Arch’ was selected as the player most epitomizing the heart and soul of the Kangaroos Football Club – beating 911 other Kangaroos players for the honour.
A fearless defender who intimidates opponents and inspires team-mates, Archer was a vital member of the Kangaroos premiership sides in 1996 and 1999. His Norm Smith medal-winning performance in the 1996 Grand Final, where he had the unenviable task of standing in front of Sydney full-forward Tony Lockett, sums up his career. Arch plays brave, uncompromising football, often whilst injured and is constantly willing to sacrifice his game for the betterment of his team.
In 2007, Glenn capped of a wonderful playing career, when he reached his 300th milestone game in round 13.
A tireless worker, he is recognized not only for his on-field brilliance, but also for a throng of selfless charity-based events to which he has given his time.
A true legend of the game, Arch’s off-field endeavours, combined with his unquestionable playing record, re-affirms all that is great about Australian Rules Football.
