Scott West

Scott West was born on 14 November 1974 and is a former Australian rules footballer who represented the Western Bulldogs in the Australian Football League. A tough in-and-under midfielder who was hard at the ball around the stoppages, he is recognised as one of the club's greatest players and won a club-record seven Charlie Sutton Medals. He grew up in Keilor, made his senior debut for Footscray in 1993 with an AFL Rising Star nomination, and was selected All-Australian five times, in 1998, 2000, 2004, 2005 and 2006. He finished runner-up in the Brownlow Medal count twice, in 2000 and 2006, and in 2006 became the first player on record to amass more than 400 handpasses in a season, with 423.
