Len Templar was a clever, free-roaming wingman who picked up plenty of possessions and loved to kick a goal. He played a total of 60 VFL games for North Melbourne between 1954 and 1957, booting 54 goals. One of his finest performances came in North's losing First Semi Final against Melbourne during his debut season, when he contributed five of his side's 11 goals for the match.
