Stats
Bio
A diminutive footballer born in East Melbourne, Johnny MacGregor managed a brief senior career with Richmond during the 1911 VFL season. Standing just 169cm and weighing a slight 64kg, he was physically outmatched at the elite level, playing only four games without kicking a goal before being omitted from the squad. While his time at Punt Road was statistically forgettable, his post-football journey was anything but; MacGregor eventually left Australia and permanently resettled in France, where he built a life as a corporate director and hotelier. He remained in Europe until his death in 1966, holding the rare distinction of being a former VFL player laid to rest in the historic coastal city of Dunkirk.
