Wilbur Harris (28 May 1912 – 28 June 1981)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Harris was a ruckman, recruited from South Australian club West Torrens. The collection of players recruited from interstate in 1932/1933 became known as South Melbourne's "Foreign Legion".[2]
He originally had trouble establishing a spot in the senior South Melbourne side, but was selected as 19th man in the 1934 VFL Grand Final. By 1937 Harris was a regular in the senior team. He kicked 12 of his 19 career goals that year. In 1941 he was cleared to play for Williamstown in the Victorian Football Association,[3] but never played for them, returning to play six more games for South Melbourne.[4]
