From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugh 'Bonny' Campbell was an Australian rules footballer who played 188 WAFL games and kicked 630 goals. A regular West Australian interstate representative, he is famous for kicking 23 goals in a game for Western Australia against Queensland at the 1924 Hobart carnival.

Campbell started his career at North Fremantle but the club became defunct soon after and he moved to South Fremantle. Playing as a half back flanker he helped South Fremantle to win back to back premierships in 1916 and 1917.

He was used as a fullfoward in the subsequent seasons and he was named club captain in 1922 and finished the season as the WAFL's leading goalkicker. After spending 1923 on the sidelines due to a clearance dispute, he moved to East Perth the following season. He topped the league's goalkicking again in 1924 and was a premiership player at East Perth in 1926 and 1927.
