Brent Crosswell celebrates his 55th birthday today (8 August).

'Tiger' was recruited from Tasmania by Ron Barrasi in 1968.

A flamboyant and brilliant player who notched up 98 games for the Blues, including the 1968 and 1970 premierships.

Went on to continue a successful career at North Melbourne and then Melbourne. Ironically played under Barassi in all three teams despite having an at times 'testy'relationship. Ended up playing in 4 premierships and 8 grand finals.

Happy Birthday Tiger.


Other Carlton birthday's today include, George Ferry, who played 137 games for the blues in the 1950s, and Michael Mansfield who we all know.
