Raymond Cyril “Ray” Scott (17 April 19275 January 2003) was a leading Australian rules football player and field umpire in the West Australian National Football League (WANFL). ==WANFL playing career== Ray Scott began playing with the West Perth Football Club (the “Cardinals”) in 1944 during the WANFL’s under-age competition, where he played as a ruckman or centre half-back but was nonetheless viewed as extremely promising.〔Atkinson, Brian; ''West Perth Football Club 1885-1985''; p. 79〕 Scott then spent two years in the Royal Australian Navy and rejoined the club for the 1947 season, during which he was shifted to full-forward in place of future champion defender Ray Schofield.〔Atkinson, ''West Perth Football Club 1885-1985''; p. 83〕 He played 190 games between 1944 and 1959. Scott was a highly successful forward, kicking 901 goals during his WANFL career. In the 1953 season he kicked 143 goals (including a career high of 15 in one game). Although this was a phenomenal tally, he did not take of the League's goalkicking award as it was the year South Fremantle's goal kicking legend Bernie Naylor posted his record 152 goals, including 23 in one game.〔 Scott was the WANFL leading goal kicker in 1951 and 1955 and he topped West Perth's goal kicking from 1948 to 1955. He kicked one hundred goals or more in a season four times.〔 Scott represented Western Australia in 1948, 1949 and 1951 in matches against other States. He also played in West Perth premiership sides in 1949 and 1951.〔 On 27 September 1954, Scott nearly lost his life when he fell from the ninth floor of the Royal Perth Hospital, being saved only by falling onto a construction lift.〔Atkinson, Brian; ''It’s a Grand Old Flag: a History and Comprehensive Statistical Analysis of the West Perth Football Club 1885-2007'', p. 118 ISBN 9781921361395〕〔‘West Perth’s Problem: Schofield May Replace Scott’; ''The West Australian'', 28 September 1954, p. 19〕 Retiring from West Perth after the 1955 season, Scott played and coached in the Riverina Football League for three years before returning to Western Australia to play two more games with the Cardinals before taking up umpiring.〔 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「Ray Scott (Australian rules football)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
