William Duncan "Bill" Grundy (22 November 1911 – 19 February 1967)[2] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Grundy was used mostly as a rover during his career, which began at West Australian National Football League (WANFL) club East Perth in 1931.[3] He kicked 19 goals for East Perth, from 13 games, before joining Footscray for a two season VFL stint.[3] In 1933 he made 13 appearances with Footscray and played another 15 games in 1934, spending a lot of his time as a wingman.[4][5]
Back in Western Australia, Grundy spent a season in the Goldfields National Football League with Mines Rovers in 1937 and appeared in their premiership team.[3]
He returned to the WANFL in 1938 for one final year and spent the season with South Fremantle, playing 17 games.[3]
