414:"Long before the teams reached the pavilion gate it could be seen that there was to be trouble, and as the crowd began to yell, the Collingwood players, headed by Proudfoot, and some of tho North Melbourne team closed round the umpire, at whom it was evident the wild screams were directed. But for this precaution the umpire, Roberts, would probably have been killed. The yelling mob, male and female, had apparently gone mad, and the brutality exhibited was only equalled by the cowardly tricks resorted to in order to get a hit or kick at the umpire on the sly. Roberts was hit and kicked, and eventually reached the pavilion in a state of utter exhaustion. M'Dougall, one of the local team, was knocked on the head while endeavoring to keep the crowd off, and Proudfoot, who most gallantly constituted himself Robert's chief bodyguard, was so brutally maltreated that on reaching the pavilion he completely collapsed. Proudfoot proved himself a hero, and as he bravely encircled the little umpire with one arm, and strove to protect him from a perfect hailstorm of blows from fists and sticks with the other, none but the cowards who were attacking him could have failed to admire his generous courage. The incident afforded gratifying proof that there are still amongst footballers men who are a credit to the game, and if the crowd at Victoria Park this afternoon fail to show its appreciation of Proudfoot's bravery when he comes out to battle against Geelong, I am a bad judge of human nature." — "Follower",
367:"The moment that the final bell rang there was a rush of people in the reserve to the pavilion gate, and as it was evident that some of them meant mischief, several of the Collingwood players and a few North Melbourne quickly got round the umpire, who had to run the gauntlet of this ruffianism to reach the dressing-room. It was well that they did so or Roberts would either have been killed or seriously injured, for the moment he stepped through the gate scores of men rushed at him like wolves, and a scene of indescribable tumult followed. Fists and sticks were going, and one man in the thick of the crowd with some implement wrapped in paper was making desperate efforts to fracture someone's skull. In the first rush Roberts was seized by the hair and dragged down, and but for the splendid help given him just then, notably by Proudfoot, of Collingwood, who, holding one arm over his head to shield himself against a rain of blows and with the other round the umpire, literally carried him through the pack with one of his football rushes.

The horses, attached to a light delivery wagon, were belting out of Swanston Street into Bourke Street, when Proudfoot saw them. He immediately sprang forward and seized the bridle of the near-side horse, and forced the team away from a tram-car, fully loaded with passengers, missing it by inches. He guided the horses between the tram and other vehicles, and pulled them up at the rear of the tram-car, after hanging on to them for 30 to 40 yards." (

It was with the utmost difficulty that he was got away from the infuriated mob and taken into the pavilion. The scene was a most exciting one. Free fights were numerous." —
