Norman Ware
Norman Ware (5 March 1911 – 26 August 2003) was an Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League (1897–1989), Victorian Football League (VFL). A scrupulously fair, clever and unusually pacy ruckman for Footscray Football Club, Footscray, Ware is the only captain-coach to have won the Brownlow Medal, and is likely to remain so indefinitely, as it would be almost impossible for a captain of an AFL team to act as a coach today, and even so, playing coaches are prohibited under salary cap regulations (instituted in 1987) in order to prevent wealthier clubs from circumventing the restrictions of the salary cap and salary floor. He was recruited from Sale Football Club, Sale. His brother Wally Ware, Wally played for Hawthorn Football Club, Hawthorn. In 2001 Ware was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

Bill Lowenthal
William Lowenthal (23 September 1909 – 13 July 1989) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon and Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1930s.

He was unlucky as he had missed three games late in the season due to an ankle injury. In 1933 Lowenthal also represented Victoria at the Sydney Carnival. Lowenthal crossed to Fitzroy in 1937 and at the end of the season joined Victorian Football Association The Victorian Football League (VFL) is an Australian rules football league in Australia serving as one of the second-tier regional semi-professional competitions which sit underneath the fully professional Australian Football League (AFL).
