Rumble reflects on career as an all-time Subiaco great

Friday, June 20, 2014 - 7:14 PM - by Chris Pike
DARREN Rumble is quick to thank his first league coach Peter German, mercurial teammates, a gifted physio, his wife and family for the success he's had, but the champion Subiaco full-back will go down as one of the all-time greats of his club as he celebrates 200 matches this Saturday. The 29-year-old plays the 200th match of his remarkable league career this Saturday when Subiaco hosts East Fremantle at Medibank Stadium.

Champion defender Rumble reaches 200 but focus stays on team

Friday, June 20, 2014 - 3:34 AM - by Chris Pike
DARREN Rumble enjoyed his enormous success in his first six years as a league footballer with Subiaco and despite reaching his 200th match with the Lions this Saturday, his sole focus is on helping give the club a chance to again be a premiership contender. Rumble played one league match in a Subiaco team in 2003 that lost the grand final to West Perth, but cemented his place in the side in 2004 and the next six years were remarkable. Subiaco won premierships in 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008 in the club's best ever period and Rumble was a key part of it as an outstanding key defender who helped keep goals out while superstar teammates worked their magic further up the field.
