Essendon
Brent Stanton
Commonly cast in the shadow of the Bombers' midfield, Stanton was never the star of the show, but he shined in his role under Kevin Sheedy and co.
Stanton wasn't a big name player or A-list onballer, but his stat-lines suggest he offered more than what he got in return.
255 games in the red sash and a decade straight of 22+ seasons unfortunately couldn't conjure a best and fairest or All-Australian squad nomination for the dashing Bomber.
