Today is 35 years since Laurie Nash died.
Recently I borrowed from a library the Laurie Nash biography from 1998 “The Great Laurie Nash” by Ned Wallish. In reading through Nash’s football journey I became interested in all the other football he played outside the VFL with South Melbourne. The biography gives good details on Nash’s major achievements with other clubs and there is a statistical section at the end detailing games and goals. After having gone through some relevant microfilm at the Melbourne State Library as well as using Trove to read through relevant country newspapers, I have been able to discover pretty much all the info I wanted relating to Nash’s senior football career, but sadly not quite everything.
These are the major teams Laurie Nash played for:
City (Northern Tasmanian Football Association; 1930-1932)
South Melbourne (Victorian Football League; 1933-1937, 1945)
Southern Suburbs (Victorian Police Football Association; 1935-1936)
Camberwell (Victorian Football Association; 1938-1941)
Wangaratta (Ovens and Murray Football League; 1946)
Casterton (Western District Football League; 1947)
Nash’s game by game career for South Melbourne can be easily accessed through the well-known and oft-used AFL Tables.
In addition Nash played for Victoria in the following games:
August 11, 1934 vs South Australia at MCG (18 goals)
June 25, 1935 vs Western Australia at Leederville (1 goal)
August 8, 1936 vs South Australia at Adelaide (0 goals)
May 12, 1937 vs VFA at Junction Oval (5 goals)
