Career

Linden played as both a forward and follower during his career, which began at Sandringham in 1939.[1] Although he spent seven seasons at South Melbourne, Linden played 58 of his 80 games between 1944 and 1946.[2] He was omitted from the South Melbourne team for the 1945 semi final against Collingwood but returned to the side for the grand final, replacing former Footscray player Roy Porter.[3] A forward pocket in the 1945 VFL Grand Final, Linden contributed two goals but finished on the losing team.[4] After missing very few games in the previous three seasons, he had an injury-plagued year in 1947, which included a twisted ankle, sustained when he tripped over a gutter.[5]

Death

He died in Bendigo on 5 October 1956, from injuries he received in a car accident.[6]
