Stats
Bio
Recruited from local feeder club Leopold, Harold Alexander was a tall follower who served South Melbourne with distinction during the mid-1920s. Standing 188cm—a significant height for the era—he shouldered the bulk of the ruck duties and proved a handy target when resting forward, contributing 40 goals across his five seasons at the Lake Oval. While he was a consistent performer in the red and white, his connection to the district extended far beyond his playing days. Alexander became a revered figure in the municipality as the long-serving Town Clerk of South Melbourne, a role he held for nearly three decades, where he was instrumental in introducing vital social programs including the area's first Meals on Wheels service.
