Australian rules football player

born May 17, 1929

died April 17, 2007

was one of Australia's finest “footy” players in the era before the separate state leagues evolved into the national Australian Football League (AFL). Fitzgerald made his professional debut in 1945 at age 15 for the Collingwood Magpies in the Victoria Football League and went on to score 49 goals in 96 games for the Melbourne club. In 1950 he unexpectedly moved to Adelaide to join Sturt in the South Australia National Football League (SANFL). During his two stints with Sturt (1951–55, 1959–62), he scored 201 goals in 125 games, was named to the 1953 All-Australian team, and received the Magarey Medal as the SANFL's best player three times (1952, 1954, 1959). He also coached at Sturt (1951–55), Benalla (1955–58), and Glenelg (1964–66). Fitzgerald was an inaugural inductee into the Halls of Fame of both the AFL (1996) and the SANFL (2002).
