Albert Green (28 January 1874 – c. 1913) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Norwood in the SAFA and first-class cricketer who played for South Australia.
Early life[edit]
Born in Medindee, New South Wales, Green was raised in Adelaide and educated at Geelong Grammar School.
Playing career[edit]
He played 13 Victorian Football Association (VFA) matches for the Geelong Football Club in 1892 before returning to South Australia the following year where he joined Norwood. Playing mainly as a rover, Green was a member of Norwood's 1894 premiership side. In 1898 Green became the inaugural winner of the Magarey Medal.[1] When players became tied to local clubs by residence, he retired from the game in preference to changing clubs or moving house.[2]
He also played seven first-class cricket matches for South Australia between 1894–95 and 1898–99.
