Stats
Bio
Allan Jensen was a diminutive local product recruited from the Hawthorn Colts who earned his opportunity during the lean playing lists of the Second World War. Standing just 165cm and weighing 64kg, he was one of the smallest players in the league, typically operating as a rover or forward pocket where he could utilise his agility against larger opponents. After making a solitary debut appearance in 1943, he became a more regular fixture in the 1944 season, playing 11 games and kicking three goals as the Mayblooms struggled through the wartime competition. His VFL career concluded as servicemen began returning to the sport, and he transferred to Camberwell in the VFA for the 1945 season to continue his football journey.
