Bio
Hailing from the Goulburn Valley, Albert Deagan was recruited from the small town of Dookie where he played for the local Yabba Football Club. He followed his older brother Jimmy to the Junction Oval, breaking into the St Kilda lineup for the opening round of the 1925 season against Melbourne. Deagan held his spot to feature in the Saints' historic first-ever VFL match against league newcomers Hawthorn the following week, ultimately managing three senior appearances and a solitary goal during his brief stint at the top level. His VFL career concluded after that season, leaving him as one of two Deagan brothers to represent the club during the 1920s.
