Career
Armour, recruited locally from St Mary's, kicked goals with his first two kicks in league football, on debut against Collingwood at Victoria Park in 1974.[1][2] He finished with four goals.[3] The following week he played against South Melbourne, but had to come off in the third quarter with a thigh injury.[4] He played 10 senior games in the 1975 VFL season and was a member of the Geelong's side which won the VFL reserves premiership that year, with a 31-point grand final win over Richmond.[5][6] In 1976 he made seven league appearances, then left to join East Perth in the West Australian National Football League, where he played in 1977.[7][8] He also represented East Perth in the 1977 Ardath Cup (a national competition) and was centre half-back in the team that lost the grand final to South Australian National Football League club Norwood.[9] It was at Norwood that he spent the next three years, which included a premiership in 1978.[10] He then joined Geelong West for the 1981 VFA season.[11]
