Straight shooter, the reason Pagan and Mathew's liked him was because he was the sort of guy that stabilised teams, dependable, loyal and thrived in the trenches when the chips were down.

I think it was Simon Black that said the Leigh ran a tight ship and didn't suffer excuses or fools well at all, including the drink. But if Pikey turned up at training on Sunday clearly under the weather after a big night Leigh would just happen then to look the other way because he knew what he brought to the team. Anyone else and they were gone.

When the average AFL career is 3 years, it's an incredible effort to get picked in 6 grand final sides.

I remember a function in 1996 I was at, it was an after game event at the FFC Hotel, and Pikey was drunk, wearing a wig and singing karaoke. He was in no way offensive and had a singing style reminiscent of Lee Marvin's Wand'rin' Star, so made me smile :)

pikey was my favourite player as a Brisbane lions supporter.. only reinforced by meeting him at the casino. on the black jack table. I was shocked that he was there. and was just a normal person. I left my cigarettes on the table when I lost my money. mister martin pike found me 40 minutes later and gave my smokes back. what a legend for no other reason... a real man and a real human while absolute superstar on field... wish more sportsmen more like him..

ben field I play darts against him in the Northern Darts Association in Melbourne, I’m a north fan, he’s an absolute gun, legend and a gentleman. But he definitely likes a drink during the week these days 👍 Love the Open Mike interviews

I used to love watching Pike mop up in defense. His and David King's runs off half-back flank were a hallmark of North's game during that period.

He left North at the perfect time. It was a blessing in disguise really from a football sense anyway. 2001 North missed the finals for the first time since 1992 and then at the end of that year was the affair scandal and the club didn’t challenge again for another decade. Instead he went to Brisbane and won 3 straight premierships and a 4th grand final.

I didn’t know about the controversies of his career mainly because I remember him at Brisbane Lions and there was no major controversies. He was a brilliant player.

In the first Grand Final with Brisbane, straight after leaving North Melbourne, I would have awarded Martin Pike the Norm Smith Medal. He was impenetrable and impeccable. But the Norm Smith Medal always gets awarded to midfielders, same with the Brownlow Medal.

As a Troo Roo! Pikey was worth a lot more than what he got paid!!! The 99 GF he was almost best on ground! He battled with the worst clubs at the time in Melbourne and Fitzroy, had all the talent, North Melbourne exposed that and the Brisbane Lions exploited that!!! But i love the message to #JarrodMolloy that Mal Michael sent
