Prentice

Prentice played a single game for Carlton, running out in Navy Blue in 1903. His playing record is identical to fellow single-gamer Billy Orr, who also ran out that year. He was recruited from Port Melbourne Rovers.

"Lithgow from Yarra Glen, and Prentice from the Ports Rovers - were included in the Carlton team. The former played a clever, useful game forward, and the latter showed fairly good form in the centre." (Age August 24 p8.jpg|left
Monday's Argus in its match report said, "... while Prentice, of the Port Rovers - a metropolitan association team, gave promise of future excellence on the centre-line."

Prentice passed away on the 20th June, 1914 aged 34.
