Who is Bill Strang?

William "Bill" Strang was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League.

Strang was a strong aerialist, used as both a follower and forward. He kicked three of South Melbourne's six goals, from centre half-forward, in their 1907 VFL Grand Final loss to Carlton.

Strang spent the next period of his career in New South Wales. After moving to Albury to start a business, he began playing for the Albury Football Club.

Strang returned to South Melbourne in 1913 and was the club's leading goal-kicker with 29 goals.

Four sons, Allan, Colin, Doug, Gordon, and a grandson, Geoff all played in the VFL.
