Stats
Bio
Recruited from Croydon in the Eastern District Football League, Allan Sinclair was a towering ruckman and key forward who provided tall timber for Fitzroy throughout the 1970s. Standing 196cm, he served primarily as a depth player at the Lions, battling for consistent senior selection over six seasons at the Junction Oval. Seeking greater opportunities, he crossed to St Kilda in 1979 but made only two appearances for the Saints before finishing his playing days in the VFA with Port Melbourne. While his own VFL tenure was brief, his football legacy continued through his son, Callum Sinclair, who carved out a successful AFL career with West Coast and Sydney.
