Bob Pratt Jr.

Robert Pratt Jr., born on 24 March 1936, is a former Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League. He debuted in 1955 as a forward, including at full-forward, the position his father Bob Pratt Sr. had excelled in, after forcing his way into the team by scoring 21 goals in three games for the South Melbourne reserves. His 24 league goals that year were enough to finish second in the club goalkicking, with hauls of five goals against Geelong and six against Richmond. He was used mostly as a half forward flanker for the rest of his career, which ended in 1958 when he announced his retirement, citing business commitments.
