Booth was a rover and often rested on the half forward flank, contributing over a goal a game for Essendon. He spent most of the 1952 season in the reserves and was a member of their premiership team but also made five appearances in the seniors. From 1953 he was a regular in the Essendon side, kicking 32 goals in 1954 and playing in the [1957 Grand Final](/source/1957_VFL_Grand_Final) loss to Melbourne. Earlier in 1957, he was involved in some controversy when in a game against that year's premiers he was penalised for kicking the ball out of bounds deliberately, after a tackle from [Ron Barassi](/source/Ron_Barassi). With just seconds remaining, [Athol Webb](/source/Athol_Webb) kicked the winning goal from an angle on the half forward flank to give his team a one-point victory. Once leaving Essendon, Booth moved to Tasmania and captain-coached the [Sandy Bay Football Club](/source/Sandy_Bay_Football_Club) from 1959 to 1961. ==References== {{Reflist}} *Holmesby, Russell and Main, Jim (2007).
