Greg Bell

Gregory Bell (born 26 March 1955) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Career Bell was a member of the Rupanyup team that won the Wimmera Football League premiership in 1973. The following year he polled 18 votes to win the Toohey Medal on countback, an award for the Wimmera Football League's best and fairest player.

Essendon A defender, Bell started at Essendon in the 1975 VFL season. Although he only played the first half of the season, his efforts from nine games were enough for him to win Essendon's "best first year player" award. In round nine against North Melbourne at Waverley Park, Bell badly injured his knee during the first quarter. This ended his year and also caused him to miss the entire 1976 season. He kicked the only goal of his VFL career in that game, which was his final appearance for Essendon.

Bell left Essendon in 1980 for the Croydon Football Club.
