1947

Recruited from Bentleigh Football Club, he played his first match in round 11 of the 1947 season, against Melbourne, at Essendon's home ground, Windy Hill.

He went on to play 148 games for Essendon from 1947 to 1956.

1948

He played in the "drawn" 1948 Grand Final, but was not selected for the "Grand Final Replay" the following week.

He married Shirley June Nankervis in 1951.

They had two children: Ross, and Janine.

1956

He was Acting Captain of the Essendon team on three occasions in 1956.

He was a strong, tough, dogged and tenacious defender, who also played in the ruck from time to time with great success.

His great strength always gave him a great advantage at the boundary throw-ins.

His last game for Essendon was in the first (1956) VFL night football series, held at the end of the 1956 home-and-away season, under floodlights, at Lake Oval, at Albert Park,

Almost from the inception of Australian television (November 1956), along with Percy Beames, Thorold Merrett, Doug Heywood, and Tony Ongarello, Bigelow featured in various football shows on ABC Television.
