Career
However, midway through the season, after playing five games for Footscray, four of which were as a reserve, he transferred to Richmond. He only played a further two games for Richmond in 1976, the last VFL games of his career. Geelong West appointed him coach in 1986 and he led the club until June, when he resigned for business reasons.
Commonly known as Dizzy, he competed for many years at the Stawell Gift, mainly in the one and two mile events.
He has been inducted into the Stawell Hall of Fame as a legend.
