Stats
Bio
Recruited from Eaglehawk in the Bendigo Football League, Harold Daly was a diminutive utility player whose VFL career was shaped by the transient nature of the Second World War era. Standing just 173cm, he acted as a depth player across three separate clubs—Hawthorn, North Melbourne, and St Kilda—often filling vacancies during a period of significant list instability. Despite his perseverance in earning selection at three different organisations, he struggled to cement a regular spot in the seniors and holds the unfortunate statistical distinction of never playing in a winning side across his 12-game career. His family connection to the league continued through his brother, Alan, who played for Melbourne immediately following Harold's retirement.
