Ahhh the Gold Coast. Where sporting careers go to die.
Despite many attempts across various codes, there has yet to be a successful sporting club in the party capital of our great island nation.
Although I have a raging love affection for the Ginger Ninja Matt Rowell, I cannot brag about The Gold Coast Suns, who have still yet to play finals footy in the AFL. Meanwhile, Gold Coast United left the A-League almost a decade ago.
Then of course, there have been numerous failed Rugby League ventures on the Goldie – RIP to the Chargers, Giants and Seagulls.
No code has yet figured out the impossible algorithm of how to produce a strong sporting franchise on the GC, and perhaps this is because mediocre players have been a common variable throughout.
Let’s now look back on some of the finest mediocre athletes to come out of the Gold Coast, courtesy of the Titans.
