Stats
Bio
Recruited from Beaconsfield in the South West Gippsland Football League, Barry Allan arrived at Arden Street with a proud family link as the son of 1940s Shinboner Ron Allan. Standing 188cm, he developed into a competitive ruckman who bided his time in the reserves before establishing himself as a regular senior player. His tenure was highlighted by a clearance dispute in 1966 when the club refused his request to captain-coach Pakenham, ensuring he remained a key part of North’s structure for two more seasons. Allan eventually departed the VFL scene following the 1967 season, remembered as a hardworking tall who carried on the family name with distinction.
