Who is Bill Pearson?
Bill Pearson was an Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon in the Victorian Football League during the 1940s.
Pearson was recruited from La Mascotte and in just his third league game kicked four goals to help his club defeat Carlton by 100 points. He was the centreman in the Essendon premiership side of 1946 and finished tenth in that season's Brownlow Medal count with 13 votes, the most by an Essendon player.
A knee injury in 1947 ended Pearson's career when a series of operations, five in total, weren't enough to allow him to play again.
