Bio
Recruited from Maryborough in country Victoria, Noel Bishop faced the enviable but difficult task of breaking into a Carlton list destined for premiership glory. A solidly built utility standing 178cm, Bishop was given his opportunity by coach Ron Barassi during the 1968 season, managing two senior appearances as the Blues built momentum toward their drought-breaking flag. With a squad anchored by legends like Alex Jesaulenko and John Nicholls, Bishop found regular selection impossible to come by and was unable to retain his place in the side. He departed Princes Park at the conclusion of that solitary season, serving as a brief depth player during one of the club's most celebrated eras.
