An Australian Test cricketer and Australian Rules footballer. A player in both codes who never lacked for confidence, he was once asked who was the best player of all time and he answered: "I look at him in the mirror each morning!"
As a cricketer he played two Tests, achieving 4/18 in one and 4/70 in the other with his fast bowling, but amazingly he never played in a Sheffield Shield game.
He won a football premiership with South Melbourne in 1933 but then flitted between clubs playing and coaching until he returned to South Melbourne in 1945 and featured in the "Bloodbath" Grand Final which Carlton won.
