Early life edit
Born in Medindee, New South Wales, Green was raised in Adelaide and educated at Geelong Grammar School.
Playing career edit
He played 13 Victorian Football Association (VFA) matches for the Geelong Football Club in 1892 before returning to South Australia the following year where he joined Norwood. Playing mainly as a rover, Green was a member of Norwood's 1894 premiership side. In 1898 Green became the inaugural winner of the Magarey Medal.[1] When players became tied to local clubs by residence, he retired from the game in preference to changing clubs or moving house.[2]
He also played seven first-class cricket matches for South Australia between 1894–95 and 1898–99.
