BIOGRAPHY
Don was a strongly-built half-back and ruck-rover who was originally recruited from Albury by Yarraville, in 1975. He then played one game with North Melbourne Reserves before crossing to Richmond, in 1976. He moved to Essendon for one season, 1977, before transferring to Newtown in New South Wales. Don was eventually forced into early retirement due to a leg injury. He now runs his own dealership in Lilydale.
