Stats
Bio
Recruited from the local North Fitzroy Juniors, Alf Taggart was a Depression-era footballer who earned a brief run with Fitzroy during the 1932 VFL season. He broke into a Maroons lineup that featured the legendary Haydn Bunton Sr, managing to hold his place for three mid-season matches, including a tough outing against Carlton at Princes Park. Unable to secure a long-term spot in the senior side, he did not register a goal during his short stint at the elite level. Taggart's legacy extends beyond the football field, as he later served his country with the Royal Australian Air Force during the Second World War.
