Bio
Recruited from local side Leopold, Alan Pentland quickly established himself as a defensive pillar for South Melbourne during the club's first golden era. A steadfast back pocket, he etched his name into folklore in his debut season as a member of the historic 1909 Premiership side that delivered the club's maiden VFL flag. Pentland backed up this performance by being named among the best afield in the subsequent "Champions of Australia" victory over West Adelaide. He remained a mainstay in the backline throughout his four-year tenure, featuring in three consecutive finals series before hanging up his boots after the 1912 season.
