Bio
Hughie Price was a country recruit born in Pyramid Hill whose VFL career was fragmented by the professional demands of his life as a bank official. He initially broke into the league with North Melbourne in 1929, managing three senior appearances and kicking a goal, but found it difficult to secure a permanent spot at Arden Street. After a season out of the top flight—likely due to employment transfers common during the Depression era—he resurfaced at the Junction Oval to play a solitary game for St Kilda in 1931. While his time at the elite level was brief, Price became a well-regarded figure in regional football, notably captaining Lilydale, and later served in the Royal Australian Navy during World War II before settling in Myrtleford.
