Australian Football

Port Adelaide has produced a large number of top quality full backs, and Reg Schumann loses nothing in comparison with the best of them. Tough, resolute and dependable, he made his debut for the Magpies in 1939, and was a member of that year’s winning Grand Final team against West Torrens. By the time he retired in 1950 he had played a total of 116 league games without once registering a goal. He won Port’s best and fairest award in 1940, and captained the club in 1949. His seven interstate appearances for South Australia included games at the 1947 Hobart carnival.
