Bio
A product of Scotch College, Clive Fergie broke into the Fitzroy lineup in 1915 before his promising start was interrupted by the Great War. After appearing in the opening rounds of the unique 1916 season, he enlisted and served on the Western Front with the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion, missing the club's premiership success that year. Upon his return to Brunswick Street in 1919, Fergie established himself as a classy and tenacious first rover who could push forward to impact the scoreboard. His career highlight came in 1922, where he starred as the starting rover in the Maroons' Grand Final victory over arch-rivals Collingwood, kicking a goal in the tense eleven-point win. He played in the losing Grand Final side the following year before eventually departing to captain-coach Old Scotch in the amateurs, cementing his status as a premiership hero and a key figure in Fitzroy's post-war era.
