A tough, hardy back pocket player, Reg Poole joined Hawthorn from Kew YCW, made his VFL debut in 1961, and was a member of the Hawks' first ever senior premiership team that same year. He missed the entire 1962 season in order to concentrate on his studies, but resumed in 1963 and went on to spend another six years at the club. When he retired in 1968, aged 26, he had played 62 VFL games.
