Football

Fitzroy (VFL)

Lazarus came to Fitzroy straight from the thirds, without playing a single reserves game. He was used by Fitzroy mainly as a key forward and in the ruck. On four occasions, 1963, 1965, 1966 and 1967 he topped Fitzroy's goalkicking. He kicked a career high 39 goals in the 1966 season.

On 6 July 1963, playing at full-forward, and kicking four goals, he was a member of the young and inexperienced Fitzroy team that comprehensively and unexpectedly defeated Geelong, 9.13 (67) to 3.13 (31) in the 1963 Miracle Match.
