Elton Flatley

Elton's career was sadly cut short in 2006 when he was forced to retire at the age of 29 after suffering blurred vision.

 

A star of the Wallabies World Cup campaign, Elton's ice-cool kicking in the Final won him thousands of new admirers as he landed huge pressure penalties to keep Australia in the match.

 

He became the youngest player to reach 100 caps for Queensland when he led the team out against the Sharks in Durban in April. 2004

 

Elton scored the third fastest Super 12 try of all time (amazingly behind two other Reds players Latham & Kefu) when he pounced after just 26 seconds of the opening game against the Hurricanes at Ballymore.

 

Made his Reds debut in 1996 aged just 18, becoming the youngest player to do so since Michael Lynagh in 1982.
