Les Marvell was a key member of West Torrens sides for the first eight seasons after World War I, during which time he played a total of 106 SAFL games and kicked 224 goals. For most of that time he was used as a goalsneak, with occasional runs on the ball, and he was Torrens’ leading goalkicker on half a dozen occasions, with 47 goals in 1925 his best tally. His form could be somewhat erratic, but at his best he was a highly damaging player. Winner of his club’s best and fairest award in 1922, he perhaps surprisingly made only one interstate appearance for South Australia. He was a member in 1924 of West Torrens’ inaugural premiership team.
