Bio
Hailing from the country town of Avoca, Eric Peck was a light-framed wingman and forward who broke into the VFL as a teenager during the First World War. He made his debut for Geelong in 1917 at just 17 years of age and established himself as a consistent contributor at Corio Oval, notching 50 senior appearances over five seasons. After leaving the Pivot, he moved to the capital and joined Melbourne for a two-year stint starting in 1922, before rounding out his League career with a brief spell at St Kilda. A journeyman of the post-war era, Peck relied on his agility and versatility to compete against bigger bodies, ultimately playing 58 games across his three clubs.
