Bio
A pioneer for one of country Victoria's most famous sporting families, Ray Sartori was recruited from the Daylesford Football Club in the Central Highlands. He arrived at East Melbourne during a formidable era for the "Same Olds," joining a squad that contested the finals in both of his seasons at the club. Despite his potential, Sartori found it difficult to command a regular senior berth in such a strong lineup, managing just seven appearances across two years as a rotation player. He booted his solitary VFL goal during his limited opportunities but ultimately returned to the bush, establishing a legacy that would see the Sartori name—later represented by St Kilda and Richmond utility Ian Sartori—become synonymous with football and cricket excellence in the Daylesford and Shepparton regions.
