Biography
Duff, who started out as a forward, came into the Footscray side in round seven of the 1961 season and played every game for the rest of the year.
In subsequent years he played as a defender or ruck-rover and after a couple of interrupted seasons appeared in 17 of a possible 18 games in 1964.[3] He was again a regular selection in 1965 but in the 1966 pre-season was cut from Footscray's list.[4]
His grandson, Sam Fisher,[5] was drafted by Sydney in 2016, and later won the Sandover Medal in the West Australian Football League in 2020.
