Stats
Bio
A Footscray local who launched his VFL career with South Melbourne, Reg Thomas was a diminutive rover and small forward noted for his ability to hit the scoreboard. Standing just 168cm, he established himself at the Lake Oval with a five-goal haul against Fitzroy in 1932 before transferring to his hometown club, Footscray, for a two-season stint. After adding nine senior games with the Bulldogs, Thomas returned to South Melbourne to captain-coach the reserves, serving the club until 1936 before eventually departing for a successful premiership-winning tenure with Williamstown in the VFA.
