Biography
Wilbur Harris (28 May 1912 - 28 June 1981) was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Harris was a ruckman, recruited from South Australian club West Torrens. He originally had trouble establishing a spot in the South Melbourne side but managed to secure the position of 19th man in the 1934 VFL Grand Final. Only by 1937 was Harris a regular in the team and he kicked 12 of his 19 career goals that year.
