Family

Recruited from Albury in the Ovens & Murray Football League, Paul Spargo is a second-generation footballer whose father Bob played for Footscray in the late 1950s. A rover and small forward with a sharp eye for goal, Spargo spent eight seasons at North Melbourne where he proved to be a consistent scoreboard contributor, averaging well over a goal a game throughout his tenure at Arden Street. He transferred to the Brisbane Bears for the 1993 season, adding valuable experience to the developing interstate side before concluding his VFL/AFL career. Spargo's football legacy has since extended to a third generation, with his son Charlie becoming a premiership player for Melbourne.
