Bio
A robustly built utility standing 184cm and 89kg, Vince Cross arrived at North Melbourne during the tumultuous World War II era, a period when VFL lists were frequently reshuffled due to military enlistments. He made his senior debut in 1943 as a 24-year-old, offering the Shinboners a physically imposing option capable of filling key structural gaps. His career was sporadic, managing just four appearances across three separate seasons (1943–1945) as he moved in and out of the side during the war years. While he never registered a goal at the highest level, Cross remains part of the unique cohort of footballers who ensured the competition's survival during the lean years of the mid-1940s.
