Stats
Bio
Recruited from South Kensington, Bill Montgomery was a durable half-back flanker who represented North Melbourne during a challenging era for the club in the late 1930s and early 1940s. A defensive specialist who managed just three goals across his 61 games, he was a consistent figure in the backline until his career concluded during the height of the Second World War in 1942. Although he played in a struggling side that often languished near the bottom of the ladder, his contribution to the club proved lasting through his family line. He is the father of Ken Montgomery, a 1977 premiership player and Syd Barker Medallist, making Bill a central figure in a notable three-generation dynasty at Arden Street.
