So impressed with his skill and potential, the club subsequently gave Ruthven <a href="/wiki/Guernsey_(clothing)#Use_in_Australian_rules_football" title="Guernsey (clothing)">guernsey</a> number 7, previously worn and made famous by triple <a href="/wiki/Brownlow_Medal" title="Brownlow Medal">Brownlow Medallist</a>, <a href="/wiki/Haydn_Bunton,_Sr." class="mw-redirect" title="Haydn Bunton, Sr.">Haydn Bunton</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Age_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Age-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Ruthven_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ruthven-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Full_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Full-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Universally known as "the Baron", for his dapper dress sense, Ruthven reportedly earned his nickname when a teammate called out "here comes Baron Rothschild" after he turned up to the club in one of his flamboyant suits.<sup id="cite_ref-Age_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Age-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Ruthven stood only 173 centimetres tall and weighed 73 kilograms, but was renowned for his skill, fitness and flawless left-foot kicking.<sup id="cite_ref-Age_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Age-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Tough, talented and tenacious, Ruthven was also renowned for his ability to gain possession of the ball under the most challenging of circumstances, and use it purposefully.

In 1942, Ruthven spent three months in hospital recovering from a serious back injury and missed the entire season. However, he bounced back from injury and in 1946 won Victorian selection for the first time and a league newspaper award as the best player of the year.<sup id="cite_ref-Ruthven_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ruthven-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Fitzroy almost lost Ruthven in 1949 after the Imperial Football Club offered him £18 a week to be captain/coach. Although he accepted, becoming one of the highest paid coaches in Victoria, Fitzroy refused him clearance, claiming that Imperial had approached Ruthven after they had denied permission to interview him for the position. Eventually, Fitzroy won a protracted battle to keep him. Shortly afterwards, Broken Hill offered Ruthven £36 a week; £20 as a player, £8 as the coach and a weekly bonus of £8. Again Fitzroy refused to clear Ruthven and again the controlling body upheld Fitzroy's claim.<sup id="cite_ref-Ruthven_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ruthven-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1950, Ruthven was reappointed captain after <a href="/wiki/Norm_Smith" title="Norm Smith">Norm Smith</a> retired as a player.
