Guest Presenter | Michael Aish
At his peak, Norwood’s Michael Aish was among the finest South Australian footballers of his generation. His slight frame belied his extraordinary courage and a tremendous capacity for hard work, and he topped this off with a sublime range of skills that made him exhilarating to watch in full flight.
A popular winner of the Magarey Medal as a twenty year old in 1981, he won Norwood’s club champion award on four occasions, and was a member of Redlegs premiership teams in 1982 and 1984.
During the course of his 307 game league career between 1979 and 1993 he resisted overtures from at least five different VFL clubs, content to eke out his trade in familiar but by no means less challenging surroundings. Captain of Norwood from 1987 to 1989, Aish also counted captaincy of his state, for which he played on 15 occasions, among his football achievements.
A dual All Australian - the only Redlegs player to be so honoured more than once - he was chosen as a ruck-rover in the Redlegs’ official ‘Team of the Twentieth Century’. He is the son of former Norwood captain Peter Aish.
Michael Aish retired after Norwood's Grand Final loss to Woodville-West Torrens in 1993. When the Norwood 'Team of the Century' was chosen, Aish was named as ruck-rover.
Aish was one of 113 inaugural inductees into the South Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2002.On 24 October 2000, Aish was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for being a "recipient of the highest individual honour in South Australian Football"
