Stats
Bio
Recruited from the powerful amateur club Collegians, Gordon Allard served as a reliable fixture in St Kilda's lineup during the difficult 1900 season. Arriving at the Junction Oval during a bleak era where the club struggled for competitiveness, he proved to be a durable utility, missing just one match for the year while rotating between the forward line and the midfield. Although the Saints finished as wooden spooners, Allard provided occasional attacking spark, most notably booting a season-best three goals against Fitzroy. He departed the VFL landscape after just a single season, prioritizing his professional life off the field where he later established himself as a successful Melbourne auctioneer and estate agent.
