Jack Long (Snr) - Personal Profile

No.       Games         Name          Premierships                       

13          200 +  Jack Long (Snr)  1965/66, 1966/67, 1971/72

              Runners Up

                                   1967/68, 1968/69, 1969/70 

                                  1970/71, 1972/73, 1976/77.

 

Jack is officially recognized with having only played 36 games and kicking one goal since 1974. He is also credited officially with playing 15 Reserves games and kicking 1 goal.

 

It is well known that he played over 200 games, but due to Cyclone Tracy a11 his playing records were lost. Jack was 41 when he retired. He is a life member of St Marys and was awarded life membership of the N.T.F.L. (1986)

Jack (Snr) would have probably played in excess of 200 games as he played from 1964/65-1978/79 and was a member of 3 Premierships and 6 loosing Grand Final sides in that period, but due to Cyclone Tracy the exact number is not known. In that time St Marys played 236 Home and Away matches plus 36 Finals matches a total of 272 games.

 

The seven brothers played in the 1988/89 Preliminary final, and after going through the Home and Away series undefeated, St Marys lost the Second Semi and Preliminary finals thus finishing third.

Six of the brothers played in the 1986/87 premiership side they were Brian, Noel, Chris, Steven, John and Michael.

Also six of the brothers played in the 1989/90 premiership side they were Brian, Noel, John, Patrick, Steven and Chris.

This I think would have to be an Australian record in senior competition, plus the number of games and premierships won by one family.

Another unique record of this remarkable football family was when they (Patrick, Brian and Noel) formed the centre line of the 1989/90 and the 1990/91 premierships.
