Roger Hampson (footballer)

Roger Hampson (born 15 November 1948) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1] Hampson played eight games in his first season with Essendon and won the club's best first-year player award, but a severe knee injury forced him to miss the latter half of the year and all of 1970. He returned in 1971, but could only manage two more senior games before leaving mid-season to Victorian Football Association side Northcote. Hampson next played with fellow VFA team Sandringham for a year before moving to suburban football. He was captain-coach of East Caulfield, Balwyn and Edithvale-Aspendale before a stint as assistant coach to VFL club Melbourne's under-19s. Hampson came back to Essendon 1989 to be the club's general manager for seven years.

gollark: I could probably draw my own equally arbitrary ones.
gollark: Why specifically *those*?
gollark: If you just define anything which happens as being part of the balance retroactively, then it is not meaningful to complain about it.
gollark: Well, it's a thing which happens in nature.
gollark: There was an experiment which wanted to demonstrate group selection. They put flies that in an environment with limited resources which could only support so many fly children. If nature was nice and kind, they would magically turn down their breeding. As is quite obvious in retrospect, evolutionary processes would *never do this* and they cannibalized each other's young.
