William Leroy "Leo" McCulloch (31 May 1896 – 31 July 1971) was an Australian rules footballer who played with and in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
The son of William Andrew McCulloch and Anne Monica McCarthy, Leo McCulloch grew up in the Richmond area and commenced his football career playing for the Richmond Depot Tramways team.[2] He played three games for Richmond during the 1918 VFL season and was described as a "heavy chap" who did fairly well[3] but soon returned to junior football.
Eight years later, in 1926 McCulloch transferred to from Caulfield[4] but only made a single appearance after spending most of the season in the reserves.[5]
Leo McCulloch worked for the Tramways and then in the CUB Brewery until he retired a few years before his death in 1971.
