Career
He also had a notable career in the TANFL with North Hobart which saw him named in Tasmania"s official "Team of the Century", on the interchange bench. Tasmanian Len Pye played his early football in the VFA with Northcote before starting his North Hobart career in 1929. Strong in the air, Pye often played the role of an on baller.
His performance for Tasmania at the 1933 Sydney Carnival helped him get recruited by Fitzroy.
He topped Fitzroy"s goalkicking with 39 goals in 1934, his debut season, including a bag of eight against North Melbourne at Arden Street. After managing just the single senior appearance in 1935 he returned to North Hobart.
He was voted "Best on Ground" in the 1936 decider, as well as the Grand Final the subsequent year which they lost. Two further premierships followed and he finished his career as a five time TANFL premiership player and with three Tasmanian State Premierships.
After not playing during the war he returned for another stint at North Hobart in 1946.
The following year he decided to join New Norfolk for their inaugural TFL season and he spent two years with the club before retiring.
