Bio
Recruited from Northcote, Edgar Yeomans was a forward who made a brief cameo for Carlton during the 1905 VFL season. Arriving at Princes Park during the early stages of Jack Worrall's revolutionary tenure, Yeomans found himself competing for a spot in a rapidly improving squad destined for premiership success the following year. He played three senior matches, booting a solitary goal, but was unable to cement a permanent place in the side against stiff competition. His short stint represents a classic example of a fringe player squeezed out by the emerging depth of a powerhouse team, leaving him as a minor footnote in the Blues' history.
