BEN HUDSON

'Ben Hudson' (born February 22, 1979) is a player of Australian rules football in the Australian Football League.
Ben moved from Victoria to Queensland at a young age.
In his teenage years, he began playing for the University of Queensland Australian Football Club as a ruckman and also the Mount Gravatt Football Club.
He later returned to Victoria to play at the Werribee Football Club, where at the relatively late age of 24, Adelaide Football Club talent scouts recognised his natural ability and lured him to the AFL at pick No 58 in the 2003 AFL Draft.
Hudson made a scintillating debut, setting the AFL world alight with a string of stellar performances as a mobile ruckman before seriously injuring the ACL whgen he badly twisted his left knee under the full weight of his body during a fall on the eve of the finals series requiring a full reconstruction - also bringing veteran ruckman Matthew Clarke from the brink of retirement and the SANFL to become an important tap specialist in the 2005 finals series. Hudson was taken off on a stretcher after the injury.
Hudson recovered well from the injury to play in the SANFL later in 2006 and has returned to the Crows in 2007 and has been one of Adelaide's best players in what appears to be a very dissapointing season for the Crows.
