Dimboola's Lyndon Kuhne reaches 400 club games, son Jayden to play 50th.

Lyndon Kuhne will play his 400^th club game when he lines up for the Roos reserves against the Warrack Eagles. 

His son, Jayden, will play his 50^th club game for the Roos seniors side, also against the Eagles. 

Lyndon started his football career in 1984, playing for the under-14 team. 

Lyndon said he had achieved many milestones along the way but getting the opportunity to play alongside son Jayden in a 2013 reserves game topped them all. 

“To be able to play footy with Jayden was a major highlight,” he said. 

“To get a game with your own kid is pretty special.”

Lyndon said he was proud that Jayden was lining up for his 50th game. 

“He’s had some adversities to overcome so he’s really come a long way,” he said. 

“I’m proud that I’m reasonably fit to still be able to play the sport at the same time.”

Lyndon played in his first senior grand final in the early 2000s. In 2002, he was named the most improved seniors player and was vice-captain of the side. 

In 2006, he played his 200th club game and was awarded a Dimboola Football Club life membership. 

“I’m just a guy who pulls a jumper on. I’m no superstar,” Lyndon said. 

“I am a reasonable servant to the footy club though.

“To join the 200 club alongside the legends of the league makes me pretty proud.”

Lyndon retired from the game before returning to help the reserves with numbers in 2015. 

Lyndon coached the reserves side in 2009 and 2010 and has also coached at a junior representative level. 

“I’m always here to lend a helping hand,” he said. 

“I’ve always liked playing but I’ve found the opportunity to coach really good too.

“My wife coaches and played netball for Dimboola and my daughter plays netball now so we’ve always had a strong family involvement in the club.”

Lyndon said he still loves getting on the field, meeting new people and playing alongside his teammates. 

“When you first start playing senior footy it’s probably all about competitions and winning,” he said.

“Now that I’m older it’s more about the community feel. Dimboola is a small town so it’s about being part of the culture and volunteering your time.”
