Career Highlights: Dave came to The Bullets after an
extremely unsuccessful stint as playing-coach of The Barracudas...Dave
guided The Barracudas in all 10 games of the 2005 season, finishing
with a 1-9 record...A hands-on man, Dave played in five of those games...An
interesting bit of trivia is that Dave's first game was against The
Bullets...Succumbed to osteitis pubis during the 2005 season, ruining
both his playing opportunities and his personal relationships...Sought
to be traded in the hope of rectifying these problems...Is now playing
again, but remains single...Joined The Bullets, despite earlier swearing
that he would never play for the arch-rivals of The Barracudas...Debuted
at the start of the 2006 season...Has settled in to a key defensive
post...Did make a cameo appearance up forward in Round 7 against Our
Boys Don't Run...Played his 10th game in the 2006 finals against The
Travellers and celebrated with a big win...With his body starting to
break down towards season end, he decided to retire...Was inundated with cards and letters from supporters to come back for
one more season...Returned in Round 5 2007 and kicked his first ever
career goal against Our Boys Don't Run...Returned again in Round 9 and kicked two goals in another great game...Lengthy retirement tour beginning to reach KISS like proportions...
