Tommy Raudonikis

He’s had many nicknames over the years, but simply mention ‘Tommy’ to any league fan and they will instantly know who you are talking about. Raudonikis was a Magpie institution from 1969-79. Epitomising the ‘Fibros’ era of the club Tommy had plenty of skill, but it was his toughness and unmatched will to win that made him a hero at Lidcombe and feared by opponents. Virtually unchallenged for the Australian No. 7 jersey for a decade Raudonikis played 202 First Grade games for the Magpies and returned to coach the club in 1995-1999.
