Stats
Bio
A mature-age recruit who arrived at Arden Street well into his twenties, Dave Holliday waited until the age of 27 to make his VFL debut. Standing 173cm but weighing a solid 80kg, he possessed a stocky, powerful frame that allowed him to hold his own in physical contests, likely operating as a rotation player or forward pocket option. His opportunities at the top level were fleeting during a difficult era for the club, as he managed just three senior appearances and a solitary goal during the 1931 season. Holliday's brief tenure in the royal blue and white ended after that single season, leaving him as one of many players who had a "cup of coffee" in the league during the tumultuous depression years.
