Guernsey Number:

Richard Corbett - known as ‘Dick’ - was a solid player, mainly in defence, for Glenelg in a war-interrupted career that saw him play 166 games and boot 10 goals for the club.

He commenced in 1935, and played his last game in 1946, having captained the side the previous year.

Pacey, strong overhead, and a good kick, he was chosen to represent the state twice, a total that would almost certainly have been higher had the war not forced the cessation of interstate football from 1942 to 1944.
