Bio
A product of the Coburg area, Terry Healy was a wartime recruit who earned his opportunity at VFL level with Essendon during the final years of the Second World War. Joining the Bombers as a 23-year-old in 1944, he slotted into a strong lineup that was contending for finals, debuting in a season where the club reached the Preliminary Final. Standing at 175cm, Healy was a compact utility player who was primarily used in defensive roles, booting just one goal across his 15 senior appearances. After playing eight games in his first year and seven in 1945, his brief VFL career concluded as servicemen returned to the league, and he subsequently crossed to the VFA to play for his hometown club, Coburg.
