Career highlights

Bruce Comben (born October 25, 1930) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

Comben made his debut for the Carlton Football Club in the Round 1 of the 1950 season. He retired from the game at the end of the 1961 season.

Bruce passed away in 2003 and left behind a wife named Shirley, sons named Stephen, Ronald, Anthony and William and a daughter named Lynnette. He owned supermarkets in the Laverton and Werribee area, when they were named SSW. However, the Werribee branch closed and the Laverton store became Comben's IGA. Recently, the Laverton store has been sold and will no longer be called Comben's IGA.

Bruce was a two time best and fairest winner for the Carlton Football Club and was named as back pocket in their team of the century.
