He made his A-grade debut for West Perth during the 1944–45 season at the age of 18, but transferred back to South Perth the following season when the club was admitted to the first-grade competition.[5] Dick later vice-captained South Perth, and holds the club record for the highest first-grade career runs total.[4] Dick played one match for Western Australia in 1950 against Queensland, scoring a duck in the first innings and 27 runs in the second innings.[6] He also captained Western Australia Colts in one match against the MCC in 1950.[7]

Hockey career

Dick made his debut for Western Australia in 1946, and his debut for Australia in 1948. He represented Australia in every match from 1948 to 1958, and captained the team at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, scoring Australia's first goal in Olympic competition.[8] He also captained Western Australia. Dick was inducted in the Western Australian Hockey Hall of Champions in 1991, and was inducted into the Hockey Australia Hall of Fame in 2008.[9]
