Australian Football

A skilful all round footballer, and more robust than his 180 cm, 71 kg frame would lead you to expect, Ross Millson was hampered to a fair extent by injury but still gave Perth commendable service in 103 league games between 1967 and 1974. At the end of his debut season he played on a half forward flank in the 18.12 (120) to 15.12 (102) Grand Final win over East Perth, and in the following year’s play-off win against the same opponent was among his side’s best players as a wingman. Strong overhead, a useful right foot kick, and very elusive, Millson played three interstate games for Western Australia, and might well have played more had he not fallen foul of injury so often.
