Herb Henderson

Herb Henderson (born September 13, 1930) is a former Australian rules footballer who was recruited by Footscray Football Club (now Western Bulldogs), in the Victorian Football League, now AFL from Mildura Imperials, playing his first game in 1950.

He was regarded as perhaps the finest full-back of his time, with a reputation for keeping the best full-forwards, including champion John Coleman to low scores. His unique understanding with back-pocket Wally Donald made for an almost impassable backline. He was Footscray's full-back in the 1954 premiership team and retired in 1958 after 130 games (0 goals). He was named full-back in the Western Bulldogs Team of the Century.
