Stats
Bio
Recruited from University High School Old Boys in the Victorian amateur leagues, Len Peterson was a locally sourced talent who joined North Melbourne ahead of the 1967 season. A mid-sized utility standing 178cm, he was generally deployed in defensive roles or along the flanks where he could utilise his mobility, though he often found himself battling to win consistent possession against hardened VFL opponents. Peterson managed to break into the senior side for four games in his debut year and added another four appearances in 1968, but he struggled to secure a permanent place in coach Keith McKenzie's best 22. With his opportunities limited to sporadic stints in the seniors, his time at Arden Street concluded after two seasons, leaving him with eight career games and a goalless record at the elite level.
