Bio
Hailing from Rochester in the Goulburn Valley, Bill Lever was a robust utility who arrived at Princes Park ahead of the 1929 season. Standing 182cm and weighing 80kg, he possessed a frame well-suited to the physical demands of the era, yet he found it difficult to cement a permanent spot in the Carlton lineup. He made 14 senior appearances across two years, booting just the one goal, before crossing to the VFA to play with Preston during the 1930 season. Lever’s contribution to the nation later extended beyond football, as he enlisted in the Volunteer Defence Corps at age 36 to serve during the Second World War.
