Bio
Born in the Gippsland town of Yinnar, Bill O'Hara was a small forward who made a fleeting appearance for South Melbourne during the 1901 VFL season. Distinct from the St Kilda player of the same name who had featured in the league the previous year, O'Hara broke into the Bloods' lineup in Round 2 and held his spot for a consecutive run of five matches. Standing at just 173cm, he operated as a crumbing option in attack, managing to boot two goals during his brief tenure at Lake Oval. His top-level career concluded as quickly as it began, with O'Hara departing the scene mid-season to become one of the many short-term players who filled a role for the club during the competition's pioneering era.
