Personal Notes:
Wilbur T "Bill" Mohr (29 June 1909 – 29 March 1971) was an Australian rules footballer who played with the St Kilda Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Playing as a half back flanker initially, Mohr later became one of the league's greatest full forwards; he kicked 101 goals in 1936 (the first St Kilda player to kick more than 100 goals in a season) and was the VFL Leading Goalkicker in that year.
Mohr possessed an ability to kick straight from any angle, and favoured the drop kick.
Mohr captained the Saints in 1937, and was St Kilda's leading goalkicker in every year of his career, except for his last in 1941.

Bill Mohr was born in Wagga Wagga on the 29th June 1909. He attended the Wagga Demonstration School and Wagga High. He and his brother Jack played with the local Wagga team known as the Federals (predecessors of the Wagga Tigers) where their father was club president.
Both boys were recruited from Wagga by St. Kilda. Injury stymied Jack's career after only a few games but Bill went on to become one of the greatest full forwards of the game. The Mohr's of Wagga loved their footy and St. Kilda. Bill's granddaughter Rhonda was still a member of the official St Kilda cheer squad in recent years. Bill and Jack were initially approached to play for Carlton but were relieved when their beloved Saints made an offer.
Bill went on to an illustrious career for Saint Kilda from 1929 to 1941. Along the way he represented Victoria on eighteen occasions from 1930 to 1937. He was arguably the greatest forward until Tony Lockett, who broke Bill's long standing record as St. Kilda's highest goal scorer.
His achievements include best first year player 1929, best and fairest 1932 and 1936, VFL leading goal kicker 1936 and leading goal kicker for St Kilda's Football Club from 1929-1940. He was Vice captain in 1928 and 1936 being named Captain in 1937. During his career with the Saints, wearing the number 10 guernsey, he kicked 736 goals over 195 games. He was the first Saint to kick 100 goals in a season when he hooted 101 in 1936.
One of Bill's rituals before each game was to meet a young boy at the front gate of the ground and pay him 3 pence to carry his bag to the dressing room. His advice to others was to always show good sportsmanship. Bill's relatives still live in Wagga Wagga and still follow the footy and St. Kilda.
