Bill Hutchison

William Henry Hutchison, known as Hutchy, lived from 28 April 1923 to 18 June 1982 and was an Australian rules footballer who played 290 games for Essendon in the Victorian Football League between 1942 and 1957, kicking 496 goals. Generally considered one of the finest rovers ever to play the game, he captained Essendon from 1951 to 1957 and was a vital part of its premiership sides in 1942, 1946, 1949 and 1950. He represented Victoria 30 times, was All-Australian in 1953 and 1956, won the Brownlow Medal in 1953 and shared it in 1952, and was voted the fourth-greatest Essendon player of all time in 2002. Dick Reynolds said Hutchison was the best player he had seen, and in 2003 he became the 18th Legend of the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
