Cumming spent two seasons at Footscray, who were captain-coached by Arthur Olliver. He played eight games in the 1948 VFL season, including a Semi Final, which Footscray lost to Collingwood. Cumming appeared in six games the following season and kicked his only two career goals in a match against Fitzroy at Brunswick Street.
A professional sprinter, Cumming became the first and only Australian to win the prestigious New Year Sprint, at Powderhall Scotland in 1952. With a handicap of two yards, Cumming won the 130 yard race in 12.19 seconds. He also regularly competed in the Stawell Gift and finished second in 1946, behind Tommy Deane. In recognition of his contribution to professional running, the Stawell Athletic Club awards the most successful sprinter over 70 m, 120 m, and 200 m, at its Easter Gift carnival, the Eric Cumming trophy.
