Herb Burleigh (14 June 1892 – 2 November 1975) was an Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Burleigh made his debut for the Carlton Football Club in Round 3 of the 1914 season. In 1915 he played as centre half forward and was Carlton's leading goalkicker for the season. He enlisted during the 1915 season but deferred his call up until after Carlton had won the 1915 VFL Grand Final. In September 1917 his right forearm was severely injured and, despite surgery, it was clear that his front-line military service was over. In January, 1918, he returned to Australia and was later discharged from the army as medically unfit. Despite his injury, Burleigh was determined to return to football and he managed three more games in the 1919 season before his war injury forced him into retirement. Burleigh returned to his original career of teaching in 1920, and spent the rest of his life teaching, mainly in rural communities. ==External links== * (Herb Burleigh ) at (Blueseum ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Herb Burleigh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
