Adrian Lindsay Gallagher (born 12 May 1946) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League.
He was also an outstanding cricketer in his youth and received many offers to play in England, but preferred to stay in Melbourne over the Australian winter and play football for Carlton.
Gallagher made his debut for the Carlton Football Club in Round 6, 1964. He was a tenacious, and courageous lefnt-footer; and he was renowned for fearlessly burrowing into dense packs and coming out with the ball. He left the Blues and moved to Footscray at the beginning of the 1973 season.[1] In 1976 he moved to North Melbourne, but only played one game [2]
He was widely known as "Gags" and also went by the nickname "Golly" before he started to lose his mop of curly hair
