Michael Firrito

Defender
2011 - 2016
North Melbourne Kangaroos
Michael "Spud" Firrito, a former professional Australian rules footballer, made a significant impact during his time playing for the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Debuting in round 12 of the 2003 season, Firrito showcased his skills as a versatile player, primarily known for his defensive prowess but also capable of fulfilling a tagging role when required. Standing at an impressive height of 189 cm (6 ft 2 in) and weighing 93 kg (205 lb), Firrito brought both physicality and agility to his position as a defender. His ability to read the game and shut down opposition forwards made him a valuable asset to the North Melbourne team. Despite his contributions on the field, in August 2016, North Melbourne decided not to extend Firrito's contract for the following season. This marked the end of his tenure with the club after a successful career that spanned from 2003 to 2016. During his time with North Melbourne, Firrito earned the respect of fans and teammates alike for his dedication, work ethic, and commitment to the game. His nickname "Spud" and the occasional reference to him as "The Mexican" added a touch of personality to his professional demeanor, making him a memorable figure in Australian football history.
