Recruited from Hawthorn in the metropolitan leagues, Johnny Allan was a half-forward who played a solitary season for Essendon while working as a bank clerk. He made his debut in Round 4 of the 1913 season and quickly established himself in the side, stringing together six consecutive appearances. His statistical highlight came during a Round 9 clash against Melbourne, where he drifted forward to snag the only two goals of his VFL career. Allan made his final appearance in the last round of the year before later swapping his football guernsey for a military uniform, enlisting in the 1st AIF and serving in France during the First World War.
