Bio
Recruited from Stawell in western Victoria, Bob Northey was a country prospect given a brief opportunity with St Kilda during the 1908 season. Standing 174cm, he was deployed as a forward option and managed to boot a goal during his short stint at the Junction Oval. His VFL career was ultimately capped at just two senior appearances as he was unable to secure a long-term spot in the side, eventually returning to life in the country where he survived until the age of 91.
