Stats
Bio
Recruited from the fertile recruiting grounds of the Beverley Football Club, Len Phillips was a local product who earned a brief trial with Richmond during the 1913 season. He made his debut in a victory over St Kilda and showed an immediate ability to hit the scoreboard, contributing two goals across his short stint in the seniors. Despite this reasonable return for a forward, Phillips found it difficult to retain his place in a competitive Tigers lineup, with his VFL career ultimately limited to just a single month of football. He remains one of many local players from the era who stepped up to the top level briefly before returning to the lower grades, playing a minor but recorded role in the club's pre-war history.
