Jock O'Brien was born Septemvber 19, 1937. Played 30 games for North Melbourne from 1959-1961. In his final year at NM he won the Gardiner Medal for the Reserves Competition. Coached Ulverstone in Tasmania in 1962-63 winning the Wander Medal for the best & fairest in the North-Western Football Union (1962). Played 19 games and kicked 18 goals for Central District in 1964. Don't know where he went after that.

Cheers Adelaide Hawk,
I suspected it was the same fellow but needed some verification. My goodness, what verification you provided - Superb!

I believe he spent some time at the Mighty East Gambier Bulldogs after his Centrals stint. Lives in Melbourne these days(my ex's parents know him, saw him one day when he dropped round to pick up a crayfish)
