Stats
Bio
Recruited from local club Sandringham Centrals, Norm Leverton was a tall utility who earned a brief opportunity with Melbourne during the final year of the Second World War. Standing 182cm, a significant height for the era, he broke into the senior side early in the 1945 season, making his debut against Footscray in Round 4 and appearing again two weeks later against Fitzroy. His time at the top level was fleeting, as the Demons' list underwent significant changes with the return of servicemen and the league's transition to peacetime football. Following his two-game VFL stint, Leverton crossed to the VFA to represent Sandringham in 1946, where he continued his football journey in the association.
