Stats
Bio
Recruited from Tooleybuc on the banks of the Murray River, Jim Little was a towering figure who briefly graced Arden Street during the 1959 season. Standing at an imposing 191cm, he was a giant by the standards of the era and was brought in to provide much-needed height and strength to North Melbourne's key position stocks. He broke into the senior side in Round 4 and managed to hold his spot for seven consecutive matches, booting two goals, but ultimately found the transition from country football to the VFL difficult to sustain long-term. Despite his impressive physical frame, Little’s career at the top level remained a single-year cameo before he departed the league.
