Bio
Arriving at Princes Park with a heavy weight of history on his shoulders, Scott Howell etched his name into football folklore by completing a unique family hat-trick. The son of 1947 premiership player Jack "Chooka" Howell and grandson of 1918 South Melbourne champion Jack P. Howell, Scott was a tall utility recruited from East Sandringham who could operate as a key defender or forward. While he spent much of his six-season tenure fighting for a senior spot in a star-studded lineup, his career defined by a massive selection gamble during the 1981 finals series. With champion full-back Geoff Southby ruled out of the Grand Final against Collingwood, the inexperienced Howell was brought in to stand Magpie superstar Peter Moore. He held his ground in the high-pressure cooker of the MCG, helping the Blues secure the flag and making the Howells the only family in VFL/AFL history to produce premiership players across three consecutive generations. Howell departed the club in 1985 with 39 games to his name, finishing his playing days in the VFA with Sandringham.
