Playing career

At St. George, Lindwall set records for both most tries and points in a match. He scored four or more tries in a match on four occasions, including six tries in a match against Manly-Warringah in 1947 where he also kicked nine goals, scoring an equal club record of 36 points in a match.[4] He also played in St. George's Grand Final teams of 1942 and 1946 and retired as the club's all-time top try-scorer, a record not surpassed until the 1960s. He missed the 1941 grand final victory over Eastern Suburbs due to injury.[5]

Lindwall was awarded Life Membership of the St. George Dragons in 1994.[6] He died on 17 June 2000, aged 81.[7]
