It must be Peter Phipps then. I might have got Brooks from the 1993 Year Book (as that lists Brooks on the bench), but picking up another one (1980), it has Phipps. But I only have a DOD for Phipps too (11/3/2019).

Phipps was definitely on the bench. He came on in the second quarter when Jeff Bray left the field with injury. Tommy Shrubsole was the other reserve and he came onto the field in the last quarter.
