Bio
Emerging from the local Pascoe Vale ranks, Bob "Humpty" Greenwood was a courageous rover who made an immediate impact at Windy Hill after dominating the under-19s competition. His senior career was interrupted by a severe knee injury in early 1968, though his off-field contribution during rehabilitation was significant enough to earn him the Best Clubman award that season. He returned to arguably his best form in 1970, finishing as the Bombers' second-leading goalkicker and polling strongly in the Brownlow Medal, but shocked many by leaving the VFL while still in his prime. Greenwood headed west to join Claremont, where his form was strong enough to earn state selection for Western Australia in 1972, before eventually moving into coaching roles across Queensland and New South Wales.
