Stats
Bio
Recruited locally from Geelong College, Milton Lamb established himself as a reliable back pocket who became a fixture of the Cats' defence during the late 1920s. A disciplined defender tasked with nullifying dangerous opposition rovers, Lamb's career highlight came in the 1931 Grand Final, where he was named among the best on ground for his shutdown role in Geelong's premiership victory over Richmond. Despite his consistency and standing as a premiership player, his top-level tenure was relatively brief, concluding after the 1932 season with just over 70 games to his name. He later held the distinction of being the last surviving member of the 1931 premiership team, cementing his unique place in the club's history long after he hung up the boots.
