Bill Bourke (23 July 1882 – 13 November 1932) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Bourke had the distinction of topping Richmond's goal-kicking in their first two VFL seasons, in 1908 and 1909, with 25 and 20 goals respectively.〔(AFL Tables: Bill Bourke )〕 He along with family members was a strong Collingwood supporter and actually first tried to play for Collingwood. Upon being denied a game as a Magpie he decided to play with Richmond who were just entering the VFL. He retired after just two seasons to drive a taxi as it paid more than his wage as a footballer. He later ran a boot factory, which employed many league footballers and was the largest in the southern hemisphere at the time. He died suddenly of a heart attack in 1932 leaving a family of six children behind.〔''The Age'',("Love, football, war, tragedy: A tale worth telling" ), 17 September 2011, Carolyn Webb〕 ==References==
