Tough and durable, if somewhat ungainly and unprepossessing in approach, South Melbourne's Traralgon recruit Paul Harrison enjoyed a fine, 119-game, 27-goal VFL career between 1963 and 1970. He afforded persuasive evidence that style and effectiveness do not inevitably or invariably go hand in hand.
