Page grew up in Newport and played for Spotswood United before joining Footscray.[1] He kicked three goals on his Footscray debut in 1938, his only game of the year.[2] In both 1939 and 1940, Page topped Footscray's goal-kicking, with 31 and 52 goals respectively. He kicked nine goals against Richmond in the opening round of the 1940 VFL season, which remained his personal best. His career ended prematurely due to the war.[3]
