Happy birthday Michael Reynolds.
Recruited to the Melbourne Under 19s from Hobart, Reynolds spent a number of injury-prone years with the side before finally getting his chance in the seniors during 1983. He played three games off the bench for one goal before being thrown to full forward against St Kilda in Round 18, 1983 as a late replacement for Peter Moore where he kicked six goals.
Despite his success as a forward Reynolds booted just 11 more goals in his career and missed the entire 1985 season due to a knee injury.
Reynolds then played for Prahran in the VFA in 1987 and 1988 under former teammate Greg Hutchison gaining immediate success with the Two Blues winning the 87 VFA 2nd division premiership, then getting promoted back to 1st division the following year.
Please share any more information or photos of Mick’s career.
