With AFL Fights & Big Hits โ€“ I just got recognised as one of their top fans! ๐ŸŽ‰

43 years ago today, Saturday 11th of April 1981.
Who can forget Jeff Fehringโ€™s monster torp goal from behind the centre circle! Fehring was born at Leitchville, on the Murray River, near Echuca. He made his debut as a ruckman with the Geelong in 1977, playing 19 games until 1979. He moved to St Kilda in 1980, and in 1981 his moment of fame came. While he only went on to play 17 games and kick 3 goals for St Kilda, one of those goals was a huge torpedo punt that was measured around 86 metres, kicked from the centre circle at Moorabbin in 1981. The goal came minutes after he was reported, and he was so fired up that he kicked the (wind-assisted) goal, one of the biggest in Footy history.
Fehring's VFL career was over at the end of the 1981 season, and he moved to Adelaide to play for Norwood Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). After playing in Norwood's 1982 premiership, Fehring retired from football and became a cattle farmer after marrying in 1984, but with water prices affected by drought, he was forced to sell his farm and livestock and move to Alexandra where it was hoped there would be more rain. Despite working several jobs, Fehring lost his emu and cattle farm, and his marriage. Taking custody of his two children, he moved to Darwin briefly, before buying a pub and hotel in Deniliquin in southern New South Wales. That business also failed, and beset by health problems including Type 2 diabetes and recurring heart problems, Fehring passed away on 25 July 2008.
