Family edit

The son of Mungo Brown (1861-1911),[1] and Margaret Ann Brown (1863-1933), née Peel,[2] Edward Valentine Brown was born in Bendigo on 18 October 1891.

He married Lucy Catherine Miller (1891-1980) in 1921. Their sons, Vincent (1922-1989), and John (1923-2007), also played for Carlton (117 games and 90 games, respectively).

Ted Brown played with Ararat Football Club in 1911–13, 18 games, including premierships in the 1911 and 1912 Wimmera & District Football Association. He played with Ararat on Wednesdays and in Ballarat on Saturdays.

Brown, who was brought up in Ballarat, was recruited to St Kilda from Caulfield. He couldn't establish a place in the St Kilda team and left at the year's end.

He returned to the VFL in 1914, joining Carlton, and was a wingman in their 1914 premiership team, and a half-back flanker in their 1915 premiership team (his son, Vin Brown, was also a dual premiership player for Carlton).

Traralgon edit

He was cleared from Maffra to Traralgon in 1925,[5] and played in Traralgon's 1925 premiership team.[6] He played for Traralgon for four years – 1925 to 1928 – and was the team's captain-coach of the team in 1928.[7]
