GEOF Motley is one of the most decorated players in Port Adelaide's storied history. He captained the club from 1959 until 1966 and was the only player to take part in all nine of the Magpies' premierships during their golden run from 1954 to 1965.
Motley was almost universally admired throughout his playing career which is no small feat when you play for a club that polarises opinion like Port Adelaide. In 258 senior games the consummate team man was never reported, with his tough but fair approach seeing him awarded his club's best and fairest trophy four times and the SANFL's highest individual honour, the Magarey Medal, in 1964.
He was named on a half-forward flank in Port Adelaide's 'Greatest Team of All' and is a life member of both the Magpies and the SANFL.
