Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Geelong High School Old Boys, Harry Heard was a talented local sportsman whose VFL career was confined to a single season during the Second World War. He made his debut in 1941, playing five games and booting two goals as a mid-sized utility during a period when the club faced significant disruption and eventual recess due to the conflict. While his time at the top level of football was brief, Heard remained a prominent figure in Geelong's sporting landscape. A gifted dual-code athlete, his greatest legacy arguably lies on the cricket pitch, where his long-term dominance was later recognised with selection in the Geelong Cricket Association's Team of the Century.
