Career highlights

Michael Aish (born 1961 in Adelaide, South Australia) is a former Australian rules footballer who played his entire senior career with Norwood in the SANFL (1979-1993). Aish and Redlegs team mate Garry McIntosh were famous in Adelaide during the 1980s and '90s for continually resisting many big-money offers to move to Melbourne to play in the VFL and remaining loyal not only to Norwood but to the SANFL.

Aish, son of former Norwood captain and coach Peter Aish (who played 162 games for the club from 1953-62) and brother of another former Redleg team mate Andrew Aish had a lengthy career at Norwood, playing 307 games over 15 seasons starting in 1979. He won the SANFL's highest individual honor, the Magarey Medal in 1981 at the age of just 20 and was a premiership player with Norwood in 1982 when they defeated Glenelg in the Grand Final and again in 1984 when The Redlegs defeated Port Adelaide to become the first team in SANFL history to win the premiership after finishing the minor round in 5th place.

From 1987 to 1989 he was club captain and won Norwood's best and fairest in 1981, 1983, 1984 and 1992, emulating his father Peter who won the clubs B&F award in 1960. Michael Aish represented South Australia 15 times at interstate football, captaining the side in 1986 and 1989 as well as earning All-Australian selection in 1983 and 1986, to date the only Norwood player to earn the honor while playing for the club.

Michael Aish retired after Norwood's Grand Final loss to Woodville-West Torrens in 1993. When the Norwood 'Team of the Century' was chosen, Aish was named as a ruck-rover.[1]

Aish was one of 113 inaugural inductees into the South Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2002.[2]
