Football


Lewis made his VFL debut against South Melbourne in Round 1 of the 1897 VFL season at the Lake Oval, having played 113 matches (eight for Richmond and 105 for Melbourne) in the VFA. He has been given the Melbourne Heritage Number of 7 based on the order of his VFL/AFL debut for the club.[1]

Lewis retired in 1903 after 87 VFL games, for a career total of exactly 200. His 192 games for Melbourne included the club's 1900 Grand Final win, and was the club record until it was broken by Percy Beames in Round 14, 1943.
