Bio
Recruited from Coburg, Les Huntington was a tall utility who made a brief appearance for Collingwood on the eve of the First World War. Standing 180cm—a significant height for the era—he possessed the physical attributes to play key positions but faced stiff competition for a spot in a powerful Magpies lineup that would finish the season as runners-up. He was the first of three brothers to play VFL football, with his siblings Jack and Stan later forging successful careers with Melbourne. Huntington debuted in Round 1, 1914, against Carlton and managed four senior games in the first half of the season before drifting out of the league without registering a goal.
