George Stanley O'Hehir (20 August 1891 – 29 January 1956) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
The son of Michael O’Hehir (1856–1922)[1] and Mary Wheelan (1859–1925),[2] George Stanley O'Hehir was born at Bullarto on 20 August 1891.
O'Hehir commenced playing at Bullarto, winning a premiership in 1915.[3] He was a noted sportsman in the district, also competing in boxing,[4] shooting[5] and woodchopping.[6]
In 1918, George and his brother Michael moved to Koo Wee Rup, and played football for the local team.[7] George O'Hehir's prominent performances for Koo Wee Rup led to St. Kilda seeking to secure his services in late 1920, but they were unable to locate him.[8] In June 1921 Richmond secured a permit for O'Hehir[9] and after training once he played a single game for them, playing well enough to earn some praise from the highly critical scribe attached to the local Richmond paper.[10] He did not play another game for Richmond and returned to the Koo Wee Rup area, later playing with Bayles.[11]
In 1926, O'Hehir married Mary Ellen Dineen and they returned to Bullarto, with George working as a farmer. In 1933 he established a sawmill at Blakeville.[12] [13] He subsequently also established a sawmill at Crystal Creek (near Alexandra).[14]
George O'Hehir and his wife moved to Ballarat in their later years, and O'Hehir died in a private hospital there on 29 January 1956.[15]
