Football

A left footed forward, Moyes started his league career in 1915 with St Kilda Football Club and topped St Kilda's goalkicking with 32 goals.

Due to the war he didn't return to the club until 1919 and every season from 1921 to 1923 he topped St Kilda's goalkicking.

In 1925 he crossed to Melbourne and with 55 goals in 1926 was a vital member of their premiership team that season. He kicked three goals in Melbourne's grand final win over Collingwood and his end of season tally was the third highest in the league.

Military service

He played for the (winning) Third Australian Divisional team in the famous "Pioneer Exhibition Game" of Australian Rules football, held in London, in October 1916. A news film was taken at the match.[2][3]
