Jack Hedley

Who is Jack Hedley?

Jack Hedley is a former Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League.

Having only played junior football, Hedley came into the North Melbourne side after "walking in off the street" and asking for a chance to play for the club. He made his debut in 1948, at the age of 17 and played a total of 10 games that season. His final game for North Melbourne was the 1950 VFL Grand Final, which he started from the bench.

A rover, Hedley spent the next part of his career playing with Camberwell in the Victorian Football Association. He was cleared to South Melbourne in 1954 but was restricted entirely to the seconds.
