Tom Gibbons was a prominent Norwood rover during the first decade of the twentieth century. It is not known exactly how many games he played for the club, but records do show that he began his career in 1903 and ended it in 1908. During that time he represented the Redlegs in the winning challenge finals of 1904 (reviewed here) and 1907, both against Port Adelaide. When Norwood defeated Carlton on the Adelaide Oval in 1907 to lift the championship of Australia, Tom Gibbons was one of the best players afield. He played interstate football for South Australia 3 times.
