Edit ProfileCareer
The club relocated to Sydney the following year and Foschini, again playing as a forward, kicked 42 goals. Despite his success he was unhappy in Sydney and decided to return to his home state of Victoria in 1983, joining Street Kilda. He however had not received a clearance to sign with Street Kilda and as a result the issue went to court.
In what was a high-profile case at the time, Foschini argued that the VFL"s clearance rules breached restraint of trade laws.
At Street Kilda he was used mainly as a rover and played for the club until a shoulder injury ended his career in 1988.
