Bio
Recruited from West Torrens in the SANFL, Laurie Bickerton joined Fitzroy while stationed in Melbourne on military service during the Second World War. The South Australian wingman made an immediate impact upon entering the VFL in 1944, playing 12 games in a campaign defined by the Maroons' historic charge to the finals. Bickerton established himself as a reliable contributor on the flank and featured in the club's Grand Final victory over Richmond, earning the rare distinction of winning a flag in his only season of VFL football. He returned to South Australia following the war, cementing his place in history as a member of Fitzroy's last premiership side as a standalone entity.
