He never played for the Kingz. He was a talented player but I think he was a bit of a nutter.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Ask Grant Stantiall who you bought it off. He'll tell you the full story. From what I know, he was signed by the Kingz but wanted his own trainer and other personal terms. The Kingz refused and he went back to South Melbourne without playing a game.

he was at the kingz for part of the season not sure how long and never played because he wanted to leave, the kingz eventually relented and let him go back to south melbourne i think. they also asked that he not play for melbourne when the kingz played them. he then went against this and played against the kingz scoring the winner late in the game.

The PFA told him he could play even though he had walked out on an existing contract. 
 
Mike Peterson brought him over as part of the Aussie invasion in 2002 that was meant to take the club to glory but they had a complete lack of care, and Peterson flaked out and ran home like he had at many other clubs.  His appointment was a shambles as no one looked at his past, then when the club was stone motherless mid-season Sky who were the owners at the time jetissoned them.
 
Yeah, 'Timmy' Stantiall will cover it although he's gone to Aus for the weekend.  I bought the Green shirt he was selling, suppose I'd better pay him
