Eric Poole (29 August 1903 – 23 February 1968) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Poole originally played with Burnie in Tasmania[2] before moving to Victoria to play with Collingwood.[3] [4] He did not manage to break in to the senior team and in the middle of the season was granted a permit to move to Camberwell in the Victorian Football Association.[5]
In 1928 he moved to Yarraville Football Club and after a successful 1928 season was recruited by South Melbourne.[6] He played four VFL games before dropping out of the South Melbourne team and he subsequently returned to Yarraville before the end of the season.
