Past Player of the Week – Francis O’Brien

Francis Timothy O’Brien from Parafield/Salisbury played his junior football for Christian Brothers/Rostrevor College.

He impressed Norwood as a defender in the 1932 pre-season and was named as a league reserve in round eight for the match against North Adelaide. Whilst he did not make the final line-up, O’Brien was best for the B team that week and subsequently made his senior debut in the following round against Port Adelaide, at Alberton. Selected as a follower, he was used more as a wing/half back.
