Past Player of the Week – Victor Cresdee

Victor Cresdee was a St Peter’s College boy who began his adult life as a speedy Norwood forward flanker and left it as chairman of directors of the Master Butchers’ Association.

Norwood was most unlucky in Victor’s promising first season, 1906, finishing third despite losing only two games.  Victor was the member of a winning team in six of his seven senior matches that year.  The lone defeat came in the second match of the season when Norwood went down to the ultimate premier, Port Adelaide, 7.5 to 3.5 at Adelaide Oval on 19 May.  He was not in the team which lost to North Adelaide in a cut-throat semi-final on 8 September.  North played off for the premiership even though it lost five more games than Norwood during a very wet season.
