[3] Scott then spent two years in the Royal Australian Navy and rejoined the club for the 1947 season, during which he was shifted to full-forward in place of future champion defender Ray Schofield.
[5] On 27 September 1954, Scott nearly lost his life when he fell from the ninth floor of the Royal Perth Hospital, being saved only by falling onto a construction lift.
[5] In June 1968 Scott umpired the Victoria versus South Australia clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
His performance impressed the Victorian officials as they made a special request of the Australian National Football Council for Scott to control the Western Australia versus Victoria match that was played in Subiaco in July.
[5][15] Scott's contributions to the WANFL totalled an impressive 38 years of service as an umpire, player and administrator.
