And he won the Simpson medal for best player versus the big V after he moved to WA.

I was going to ask if he played rep footy. Thanks for that.

A three thousand word long commentary of a VFA game from back in 1922. The reporter must have had a photographic memory to recall the level of detail he has:

Re: Historical bulldog articles

It is with sadness I post that butch Litchfield passed away , I grew up with him and played cricket and footy with him , in recent times he struggled with a few demons but I will always remember him being such a good bloke and a sports freak who should have gone a lot further . RIP Butch a champ from the west.
