He debuted 1/11/57
His last game was on 21-25 November 1958
He coached WT in 1959
Might be he could not combine coaching a SANFL club, and play SS cricket as a young man ?
Maybe he was not selected by the SA cricket selectors ?
Maybe with Richie Benaud being the AU leg spinning allrounder, Head knew he would struggle to make the Test team ! ?
He was a father about this time ?
Head was a good looking footballer, and he had a good looking daughter !
Lindsay and his daughter were often seen at Globe Derby in the 70s
''Shereally'' caught my eye, perhaps the best looking woman seen at Globe Derby until I took my wife there
Perhaps being a dad, cricket player , footy coach was too demanding ?
