Career highlights

Ivor Thomas McIvor (16 September 1917 – 3 April 1997) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

McIvor, a key position player, came to Essendon from local side Don Rovers.[2] He played two games late in the 1940 VFL season, then didn't reappear in league football until 1944 due to the war.[3] During the conflict, McIvor served in the Middle East and New Guinea.[2][4] He returned to the VFL in round 17 of the 1944 season and kept his spot in the side for round 18 and both of Essendon's finals, including a preliminary final.[3] McIvor's six other appearances for Essendon all came in 1946, a year he would finish in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), after moving to Camberwell mid-season, without a clearance.[3][5]

Despite limited appearances, McIvor was second in Camberwell's 1946 best and fairest award and was also runner-up in the VFL seconds best and fairest, from just four games with Essendon earlier in the year.[6][7] McIvor played in Camberwell's seven-point loss to Sandringham in the 1946 VFA Grand Final.[8] He remained with Camberwell in 1947 and was appointed club captain in the 1948 VFA season.[2][9] His performances in 1948 were good enough for him to finish fifth in the J. J. Liston Trophy.[10]

In 1949 and 1950, McIvor was captain-coach of VFA club Brunswick.[2][11] He won Brunswick's best and fairest award in the 1949 VFA season.[12] Late in the 1950 season, McIvor played a part in a controversial finish against his former club Camberwell. Brunswick trailed by a point when the bell rung, but the umpire didn't hear it ring and 15 seconds later McIvor kicked a goal, which gave his side a five-point win.[13] A protest by Camberwell was successful and the VFA declared the game as having "no result".[14]

He captain-coached the Euroa Football Club in 1951 and took them to the grand final, which they lost to Mansfield.[15][16]
