Originally from Surrey Hills, Ted Farrell joined Fitzroy in 1910, but made more of an impact after he moved to Richmond midway through the following season. Of medium height and build (178cm, 75kg) he played the majority of his football in the backlines, but was also a useful centreman. His stint with the Maroons consisted of 12 games and he added 41 games and two goals with the yellow and blacks, for whom he served as vice-captain for a time.
