About Reg Gibb

Lived 1892 – 1981 (aged 88). Reg Gibb was an australian rules football player.

Reginald Norman Gibb (10 November 1892 – 15 July 1981) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Gibb was the third of three brothers to play for Collingwood. He made appearances beside his eldest brother Percy in 1913 but missed out on playing with his other brother Len by a year.

Debuting in round two of the 1913 VFL season, Gibb became a regular member of the Collingwood team and played 17 games, including a semi final. His time at Collingwood came to an end in 1914 when he received a 15-game suspension for striking Essendon half back flanker Roy Laing.

When he returned to league football midway through the 1915 season, it was at a new club, Melbourne. He played eight games and then had to sit out of football for three years while Melbourne were in a war imposed recess. His son Ray Gibb would later play for Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League.
