Stats
Bio
Recruited from Canterbury, Les Lobb was a mature-age defender who earned a brief opportunity with Collingwood during the 1920 season. Making his debut at 25 years of age in a Round 6 victory over St Kilda, he was utilized primarily as a back pocket tasked with supporting the defensive structure. He played sporadically throughout the winter, featuring in wins against Geelong and Melbourne before a late-season recall saw him face Carlton and South Melbourne. Despite the Magpies finishing fourth and qualifying for the finals that year, Lobb was unable to cement a permanent spot in the starting lineup and departed the VFL scene after just five senior appearances.
