Scott McIvor (born 9 August 1966) is a formerAustralian rules footballer. He made his V/AFL debut withFitzroy in 1985 but played the majority of his career in his home state of Queensland with both theBrisbane Bears andBrisbane Lions.
Born inBrisbane,Queensland, McIvor played his junior football forWilston Grange.[1] Prior to starting his VFL career, McIvor captained his home state Queensland in theTeal Cup. At the age of 17, he was recruited by Fitzroy and finished second in their 1986 best and fairest before winning it in 1987.
The following season, he returned home to Queensland and joined theBrisbane Bears who were playing just their second season in theAFL. McIvor remained with the club for ten seasons until they merged with Fitzroy for the 1997 season. He finished with 138 games for the Bears; onlyRoger Merrett andMarcus Ashcroft managed more. He spent just the one season with the newly formed Lions before an injury forced him to retire.
After Fitzroy and Brisbane combined their respective histories in 2001, the club unveiled a new 200 game honor board at theGabba which included Fitzroy,Brisbane, andBrisbane Lion players. The board was hung in the players' rooms with a replica for the members' area. The board itself was named the 'Curcio-McIvor' board, in honor of past playersFrank Curcio and Scott McIvor.[2]
In 2003, he was named as a wingman in theQueensland Team of the Century.
