Stats
Bio
Born into a family of Scottish migrants and educated at Geelong College, Andrew Dougall was a medical student at Melbourne University when he was recruited to Carlton during the 1902 season. A talented middle-distance runner who competed for the Coburg Harriers, he played primarily as a winger and forward pocket, relying on his endurance to cover the ground. He managed just two senior appearances for the Blues—debuting against Melbourne and playing his final game against Collingwood—before his football journey concluded. His post-football life proved far more dramatic, as he became known as the club's "mystery man" after enlisting for World War I under the alias "James Davidson," where he survived Gallipoli and eventually received the Military Cross for conspicuous gallantry on the Western Front.
