Cockram, a key position player, was originally from Northcote. He was Fitzroy's centre half-forward in their 1923 VFL Grand Final loss to Essendon.[1][2]

Now playing as a fullback, Cockram returned to Northcote in 1929 and was a member of their premiership team that year.[3]

In 1932 he resumed his VFL career and he retired the following year.[2]

He was good enough to represent Victoria B on three occasions during his career.[4]
