Stats
Bio
Recruited from Diamond Creek in the Diamond Valley Football League, Paul Hodgson was a towering ruckman who presented an imposing physical figure at Fitzroy. Standing 198cm and weighing over 100kg, he was a giant by the standards of the era, brought in to bolster the Lions' big-man stocks late in the 1966 season. He made his senior debut in Round 14 against Carlton and held his spot for three consecutive matches, including a narrow win over Footscray at the Brunswick Street Oval. Despite his formidable size, Hodgson’s VFL career was fleeting, and he returned to local football after his brief three-game stint in the top flight.
