Silvio Foschini - St.Kilda Career Highlights 1983 - 1988

'Hi-Ho' Silvio played 69 games for the Saints from 1983 through to 1988 booting 87 goals. Silvio was unhappy in Sydney and decided to return to his home state of Victoria in 1983, joining the Saints. He had not received a clearance to sign with St Kilda and the issue went to court. In what was a high-profile case at the time, Foschini argued that the VFL's clearance rules breached restraint of trade laws. He won the case and was allowed to play for St Kilda, in doing so helping to abolish the zoning system from the league. Silvio's career was cut short by shoulder problems.
