Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox AFL biography Ernest Wilfred Schunke (26 October 1882 – 6 November 1922) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He has the unusual distinction of having been a VFL umpire, before his VFL playing career.[1]

Family

The son of August Henry Schunke (1850–1928),[2] a butcher,[3] and Elizabeth Schunke, née Coleman, Ernest grew up with three siblings, Charles Henry Schunke (1879–1924) who played for Carlton, Edwin James (1887–1974), and Rose Elizabeth Langstreth (1885–1940), née Schunke.[4]

He married Helena Francesca "Nellie" Spackman in 1913. They had two children: Joy and Ivy.[4]

Football

Umpire

Schunke was a boundary umpire for 11 games in the 1904 VFL season.[1] It was the year that the VFL introduced boundary umpires.[5]

Richmond

Recruited by Richmond from Carlton Districts,[6] he played in the final six rounds of the 1909 VFL season.[7]

Death

He was killed almost instantaneously in a work accident at the James Moore and Son's timber yards in South Melbourne on 6 November 1922,[8] when a cutting knife from a shaping machine, which had come loose, flew through the air and struck him just above the heart.[9][10]
