Stats
Bio
Hailing from Nagambie in the Goulburn Valley, Don Wallace was a mature-age recruit who joined the Western Bulldogs (then Footscray) as the club looked to consolidate its place in the VFL during the late 1920s. Arriving at the Western Oval at 28 years of age, he wasted no time making an impression, booting a goal on debut against Essendon in the opening round of the 1927 season. Wallace operated primarily as a forward option during his brief stint at the elite level, registering a season-best two goals in Round 8. His VFL career concluded after just eight games and four goals in that solitary season, though he remained a part of the local community, eventually passing away in Footscray decades later.
