ROCFC Club Captain, Drew Litster, is set to achieve the awesome career milestone of 1,000 goals this season.
After some thorough research by ROCA historian Reonaldo Cialini, it has been determined that Drew has kicked 928 goals in his ten seasons for ROCS and has joined the ranks with other club legends such as Brian Carey a 300 game record holder who was estimated to have kicked 890* goals from 1981 to 1999.
Based on his average goal tallies over the years, Drew will kick his 1,000 A Grade goal for ROCS in season 2010. Drew will lead the Club this season in a concerted attempt to bounce back to Division One by 2011.
Drew started with the club in 1999 (only played 3 games that year) and hasn't missed a game from the start of 2000 to 2009.
He has been the leading goal kicker every year that he has played for the ROCS, even the 3 games he played in 1991 (equal goal kicker with Luke Dubois with 21).
Drew has kicked over 100 goals twice in his career, 2003 in our last A grade premiership year in Division 2, a club record 123 goals and in Division 1 in 2006 with 111 goals.
- 1999 - 21 goals - D2, (only played 3 games in 1999)
