Alfred Gard (1876 – after 1900) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath.[1]
Gard was born in Reading, Berkshire. He played for Trowbridge Town before joining Small Heath in July 1900 as cover for the injury-prone Billy Bennett. During the 1900–01 season, Bennett was injured rather less than usual,[2] so it was not until 16 February 1901 that Gard eventually made his Second Division debut, in a 3–1 home win against Barnsley. He deputised twice more for Bennett,[3] but moved on to Southern League club Maidenhead at the end of the season.[2]
