Steve Edge

Steve Edge is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1970s and 80s. A New South Wales Blues representative hooker he played in the St. George Dragons' 14th and 15th grand final wins and captained the Parramatta Eels to their 1st, 2nd and 3rd premierships.

Regarded as one of the most successful captains under the limited tackle rule, Steve Edge played in a remakable eleven grand finals in all grades during his career. He holds a unique record in Australian rugby league history as the only man to captain two different clubs to Grand Final premiership success.

In 1980 Edge signed with the Parramatta Eels under coach Jack Gibson and captained the Eels to three consecutive Grand Final wins from 1981 to 1983. Edge was regarded as a fine on-field leader, never an overly flashy player with the ball. He had to overcome a serious eye injury (detached retina and punctured iris) to take his place in the 1984 Grand Final and retired after his club’s narrow 6-4 loss to the Canterbury Bulldogs. In 1993, Edge was made a life member of the Parramatta club. In 2002, Edge was inducted into Parramatta's hall of fame.
