Stats
Bio
Norm Le Brun established himself as one of the VFL's earliest true journeymen, notably becoming just the second player in league history to represent four different clubs. Originally a South Melbourne local who broke through with his home side in 1929, he spent a season in the VFA with Sandringham before returning to the elite level with Essendon. A clever rover and half-forward known for his pace and goal sense, Le Brun played his most substantial football during a two-year stint at Victoria Park, where he featured in Collingwood's 1933 finals campaign. He concluded his nomadic tour of Melbourne's inner suburbs with a final season at Carlton, leaving a legacy defined not by silverware, but by the historical rarity of his four-club tenure during the 1930s.
