Don Scott (footballer, Born 1947)
Don W. Scott (born 20 December 1945) is a former Australian rules footballer who represented in the Victorian Football League (VFL) from 1967-1981. Over his 302 game VFL career, Scott built a reputation as an aggressive ruckman and a team enforcer. As captain, he led the Hawks to two premierships. Scott played 302 games in the brown and gold over a 15-year career that spanned between 1967 and 1981, winning three premierships with the club as well as the 1973 best and fairest award. The club's captain from 1976 to 1980, Scott was recognised as one of the most fearless ruckmen of his era. An intimidating competitor, he played with enormous courage, doing what was necessary to win with a remorseless, tough mode of attrition. Early career If Scott had not become a footballer, he very well might have become a champion horse rider. His father Doug was a schoolteacher and his grandfather was an avid horseman.

Background Since the mid-1980s, the formerly all-Victorian Victorian Football League (VFL) competition had undertaken a large expansion program which saw the league expand from being a state-based competition (centred around the inner suburbs of Melbourne) to a national competition. The decision to undertake this expansion was in response to elite national leagues being run by other sporting codes (for example the Australian Rugby League, the Natio ...
