Bio
Recruited from the Ormond Amateurs, Roy Quinn was the son of former Melbourne player Billy Quinn and established himself as a versatile key position player during the Second World War era. A solidly built follower who could also operate as a forward, his crowning achievement was playing on a half-forward flank in Richmond's 1943 premiership win against Essendon. He provided a strong physical presence and structural value, eventually crossing to North Melbourne in 1945 for a final two-year stint at VFL level. Quinn later extended his football journey as a captain-coach for Horsham and North Hobart, cementing a respected legacy in regional football circles.
