Bio
Recruited to Essendon in 1905, Dick Harris found his true footballing home the following season after crossing to Carlton, where he became an integral member of the club's first golden era. Establishing himself as a formidable full-back, Harris was renowned throughout the league for his booming place kicks, utilising the technique to launch the ball from the defensive goal square well past the centre of the ground. He played in all three of the Blues' historic consecutive premierships between 1906 and 1908, anchoring a dominant defence before transferring to St Kilda in 1912 to conclude his 89-game career.
