==VFL career== He made his senior debut with a win against Richmond at Princes Park in round 7, 1925. Outram was in and out of the senior team for the next three seasons. Disappointed of being dropped on the eve of finals after kicking 4 goals, he received offers from St. Kilda and requested a transfer. His 27 games for the Saints produced 51 goals, including two when St Kilda lost to Carlton in the 1929 first Semi Final.
Outram retired after the 1930 season and volunteered for active service at the outbreak of World War II in 1939, and spent four years in uniform.
==Family== Brother of former Collingwood and Richmond player, Roy Outram.<ref>{{cite web |title=Roy & Percy Outram |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/179500194 |via=Trove Newspapers |work=Shepparton Advertiser |accessdate=23 July 2020 |date=21 June 1926|page=5}}</ref> Like his brother, Percy was the leading goalkicker in the Goulburn Valley FA in 1923 and 1924.
