Bio
Recruited from the Gippsland club Thorpdale, Cliff Stewart was a lightly framed wingman who carved out a respected seven-season career at Princes Park through sheer resilience. Standing just 178cm and weighing 72kg, he was a nimble mover with excellent foot skills, but he is best remembered by Blues fans for his ability to absorb heavy physical punishment in the uncompromising football of the 1960s. Stewart was frequently targeted by opposition hard men—most notably Collingwood’s Des Tuddenham—but became a crowd favourite for his refusal to stay down, consistently bouncing back to his feet after being bowled over. He remained a regular contributor through the 1968 season, playing nine matches as Carlton surged toward the finals, but ultimately missed out on selection for the club's drought-breaking Premiership side that September, departing the league shortly after with 78 games to his name.
