Bio
Standing at just 160cm, Arthur Legge was a diminutive rover and pocket specialist recruited from Williamstown in the VFA. After crossing to the League in 1904, he established himself as a versatile small man capable of resting in either the forward or back pockets when not chasing the ball in the middle. His career highlight came during the 1908 season, where he held his spot in the senior side throughout the finals campaign and booted a goal in the Grand Final loss to Carlton. Legge remained a regular contributor at East Melbourne until his final appearance against University in 1909.
