Bio
Recruited from Braybrook, Bennie Le Sueur was a fast and flashy wingman renowned for his blistering pace. His League career commenced at Footscray, where he showed early promise despite work commitments delaying his debut and a severe abdominal illness wiping out his entire 1938 season. Le Sueur crossed to Collingwood in 1940 but found opportunities limited, managing just three senior games in black and white before being dropped following a match against his old side. While his VFL tenure was brief, he forged a successful later career in the VFA, eventually featuring in Williamstown's 1945 premiership team.
