It's been a mystery that's challenged North Melbourne CEO Eugene Arocca ever since he arrived at Aegis Park - who won the club's best and fairest's between 1925 and 1937?

But now, another piece of the puzzle has been put in to place.

Thanks to some elaborate research from a loyal member, kangaroos.com.au can reveal the club's 1932 best and fairest, Jack Patterson.

The discovery was verified by club archivist Barb Cullen.

“It never ceases to amaze me how dedicated and passionate our fans are and my recent discovery on a supporter forum of a link to a 1932 newspaper article confirms this," Arocca said.

Patterson, who played 31 games for North Melbourne after a one-year stint at South Melbourne was described as a 'diminutive rover who wasn't afraid to tear into packs' by The Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers.

The article, which was published in The Argus on Thursday December 8, 1932 also makes reference to Patterson breaking his ankle in a game late in the season. It is suspected the injury forced him to miss the entire year in 1933.

Born in 1911, he was aged just 21 when announced as the 'most popular player' at the annual meeting of the club by then president Arthur Calwell.

In that year he also polled eight votes in the Brownlow Medal.

"So far, we have uncovered the 1929, 1935 and 1936 winners. We can now add 1932 to that list," Arocca added.

"We will keep looking for the remaining winners but cannot thank our magnificent supporters enough for helping us find the information relating to Jack's win."
