Terry Cashion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Terry Cashion (7 April 1921 – 8 October 2011^[1]) was an Australian rules footballer from Tasmania.

Cashion played five VFL games for South Melbourne in 1942 while stationed in Victoria with the army and would have played more had it not been for a knee injury.

A rover, three years earlier he had started his senior career with New Town in the TFL and he returned to the league in 1947 where he joined Clarence. In the 1947 Hobart Carnival he made his debut for the Tasmanian interstate team and won the Stancombe Trophy. He won the Trophy again at the 1950 Brisbane Carnival and also became the only Tasmanian player to have won a Tassie Medal.

He had a stint at Longford from 1948 to 1951 where he won the NTFA Best & Fairest Tasman Shields Trophy three times. In 1948 Cashion tied with Harry Styles for the award.^[2] He won it outright in 1950,^[3] and again tied for the award in 1951, this time with Darrel Crosswell.^[4]

Cashion then returned to the TFL with Sandy Bay where he won a William Leitch Medal in 1953 ^[5] before retiring at the end of the season having played 193 club and representative games. Cashion won a total of seven best and fairest awards at his various Tasmanian clubs.

In June 2004 he was selected as a rover in Tasmania's official 'Team of the Century' and was soon after inducted as an icon in the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame.^[1]
