Career

Broadway, a forward, played for Yarraville in the Victorian Football Association before the Second World War. During the war, he served as a private in the Australian Army Service Corps. He made 13 appearances for Footscray in the 1945 VFL season and kicked 12 goals. During the 1946 season he attempted to join Camberwell and St Kilda, before being cleared to Fitzroy.

In 1947 he joined Terang as playing coach. He coached Coleraine to a premiership in 1948, the first of his two years leading the club, then left to coach Stratford in 1950. After two years coaching Stratford, Broadway was cleared to another Gippsland club Maffra, as a player.

While a spectator at a cricket match in Stratford in the summer of 1952, Broadway was one of six people struck by lightning. He suffered burns but was not required to go to hospital.
