Stats
Bio
Recruited from California Gully in the Bendigo goldfields region, Horrie Pearce arrived at Princes Park during a dominant era for the Carlton Football Club. He managed just two senior appearances for the Blues in 1907 before departing the club, only to resurface two years later at the Junction Oval with St Kilda. Standing 179cm—a capable height for a key position player in that era—Pearce proved he could contribute on the scoreboard during his second stint, booting two goals in his five games for the Saints. While his VFL career was brief and spread across two clubs, his journey represented the typical path of country footballers testing their mettle in the metropolitan league during the early 1900s.
