Bio
Henry Hammond was a recruit from Granya in north-east Victoria who made a brief appearance for South Melbourne during the 1902 VFL season. Arriving at the Lakeside Oval during a period of inconsistency for the club, he managed just two senior games in the red and white before his tenure at the elite level concluded. With no goals recorded during his short stint, Hammond served primarily as a depth player in a season where South struggled to make an impact on the ladder. His career remains a typical example of the many country footballers who briefly tested their mettle in the metropolitan league during the early Federation years before fading from the VFL landscape.
