Recruited from local side Clifton Hill, Alf Wilkinson established himself as a dangerous forward for Fitzroy during the club's golden era in the early 20th century. A consistent scoring threat who averaged nearly a goal a game, he enjoyed his finest campaign in 1905, where he topped the club's goalkicking list and played a pivotal role in the Maroons' premiership victory over Collingwood. He was a regular fixture in the lineup at Brunswick Street, featuring in multiple finals series as the team cemented its status as a VFL powerhouse.
