Benjamin Charles "Dick" Bliss (7 April 1881 – 3 September 1935) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
'Dick' Bliss commenced his football career with Port Melbourne in 1901, on debut securing the praise of The Age correspondent who wrote that "the best game on the other side was played by a young giant named Bliss, who before last Saturday had never played a game of football with a recognised club of any sort".
[8][9] In July 1904 he was selected to represent Western Australia in the first-ever West Australian interstate team, which played against a Victorian Football League (VFL) representative side in Melbourne on 6 August 1904,[10][11] and against a South Australian Football Association (SAFA) representative side in Adelaide on 20 August 1904.
During the 1909 season he ceased playing senior level football and captained Yarraville in the Victorian Junior Association.
[21] Bliss died in Deniliquin in 1935 as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident,[22][23] and is buried in Williamstown Cemetery.
