}}William Henry 'Bill' Proudfoot (11 June 1868 – 11 January 1931)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Collingwood Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and Victorian Football Association (VFA).[2]

Bill is the uncle of Collingwood player Norm Crewther, and the third great uncle of the Federal Member for Dunkley, Chris Crewther MP.

Background

A solidly built fullback, Proudfoot was a member of Collingwood's inaugural VFA side in 1892. He became the first-ever Collingwood player to represent Victoria when selected to play against South Australia in 1894. Proudfoot was involved in an infamous incident during a game for Collingwood against North Melbourne in July 1896 when at half-time a riot occurred with the crowd invading the field and turning on the umpire Roberts.[3] Proudfoot, while attempting to stop the umpire from getting injured, was himself badly beaten in the melee.[4]

Following the formation of the Victorian Football League in 1897, Proudfoot was Collingwood captain in 1898 and also had the role for the latter half of 1899 and in 1901. Proudfoot played in Collingwood's first two VFL premiership winning sides; in 1902 and 1903.

Off the football field Proudfoot was a police constable and was banned from playing football by his commissioner. He continued to play however under an assumed name.
