Former North Adelaide and Norwood player Andrew Jarman cited McIntosh as his toughest SANFL opponent.
Jarman won the 1987 Magarey Medal: that year, McIntosh polled the most votes, but was ineligible due to suspension.
McIntosh also cleaned up Dermot McNicholl in the 1986 International Rules match in Perth, resulting in him missing the next test due to suspension.
After retiring from playing football, McIntosh went to Tasmania in 2000 to take up the senior coaching position at Tasmanian Statewide League club North Launceston, winning the minor premiership in his debut season, but fell to Clarence in the Grand Final.
McIntosh returned to Norwood in 2002 as senior coach, but in three seasons was unable to replicate the success of his playing days.
