Bob Pratt

Football Codes

Harold Robert Bob Pratt, 1912 to 2001, was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League and for Coburg in the Victorian Football Association. Considered arguably the best full-forward in the history of the game, he was one of the inaugural Legends inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1996. Known for spectacular diving and high-flying marks, he topped the South Melbourne goalkicking in 1932 with 71 goals and passed 100 goals in each of the next three seasons. His 150 goals in 1934 stood as a VFL and AFL record until Peter Hudson equalled it in 1971, and he kicked ten or more goals in a game eight times.
