He seemed shyish off the field...but as an East Perth supporter he was scarey on the field. Skilful and could dish a bit out!
Absolute Cracking Guy. Still a humble man to this day. When big Steve talks. Everyone listens.

Nephews etc ask me if Michael would get a game today - just shake my head and say he'd fair dinkum walk into any team.

Michael wasn't the only scarey one either in an era of blokes like Basil Campbell, Don Haddow, Wayne Delmenico, Mark Jackson, Stan Magro....then the likes of Tony Morley, Rod Barrett, Brian Ciccotosco, Benny Vigona, Michael Cockie, Wayne Henwood, Tom Grulisich, Tony Amoroso...a few of them could join in too...their was another very good earlier player can recall his last name was Rose - think was number 5. Alan Rose ?
Rod Barrett was a gutsy back pocket player.
Have spoken about it before - but to be at Fremantle Oval before a crowd of about 15000...Ron Webster at East Perth was as tough as I saw - for Mark Jackson in the goal square to be strutting around him - making faces - then doing handstands right in front of him....it was something to behold!
Webster never backed away in the slightest - never showed one emotion - he was granite...and there's Jackson...was one of the funniest, but scariest things have seen on a footy field.
And you don't think Jacko loved the crowd behind the goals! He didn't care if South or EP supporters he was performing.
