Stats
Bio
Born in the rural Victorian town of Ballan, Mike O'Hehir was a sturdy follower who made his mark with South Melbourne at the dawn of the 20th century. Recruited from the country, he played his football "on the ball," contributing to the Southerners' midfield battles during the 1900 and 1901 campaigns. Though his VFL career was relatively brief, comprising just 18 senior appearances and two goals, he held his own in a competitive era for the club before departing Lake Oval. O'Hehir eventually returned to his native district, where he remained a well-known figure in the local sporting community as an umpire and administrator in the Bacchus Marsh league.
