Richmond Was One Player Short in 1948. So Jack Titus Put His Boots Back On at 40 — and Kicked 12 Goals. How?
Jack Titus had not played senior football for Richmond since 1943. By 1948, the great goalkicker was a Richmond committeeman and selector, not a player waiting for another afternoon on the field.
Then Richmond’s seconds were short a player against North Melbourne at Punt Road on June 19, 1948. Titus was pressed back into service at 40 years of age.
He kicked 12 goals.
The question Tiger supporters should be asking is simple: how did one of Richmond’s greatest careers produce a final playing chapter that sounds almost impossible?
Because that is exactly what the full feature examines.
