Bio
Recruited from West Coburg, Tom Allison established himself as a durable utility for North Melbourne during the 1960s. Debuting in 1963, he was primarily deployed as a winger or half-forward, where his versatility allowed him to impact the contest both up the ground and near goal. Allison became a staple of the senior side during a generally lean era for the club, providing consistent service across eight seasons to reach the 100-game milestone before concluding his VFL tenure in 1970.
While his own playing career was respectable, Allison's legacy at North Melbourne was significantly amplified through the next generation. He is the father of Brett Allison, who was recruited under the father-son rule and went on to become a dual premiership player and a member of the club's Team of the Century. This familial link cemented the Allison name in North Melbourne history, connecting the gritty struggles of the 1960s with the club's golden era in the 1990s.
