A little known fact is that Croft is just not a god, but directly descended from the Sun God just like the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, who is his cousin.

Saw Gus Baxter play in the early to mid 60's. A local guy from Kingsville. Father of Darren. Played full forward/forward pocket and kicked a number of goals and won the Club's goalkicking. Great high mark too. I think he has been involved in the Past Players too.

First memory of Ray Baxter, number 18, was him coming on as 19th man in a game against Fitzroy at the Western Oval in 1958. We were cellar dwelling at the time and the Roys were in the four. We won by 15 goals and Ray kicked three. He was a very fine high mark indeed - finger tip specialist.

Hirohito was Crofty's cousin?
