Ronald David Allan (3 March 1924 – 21 May 1997)[2] was an Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Allan, a utility from West Melbourne, played with the North Melbourne seconds during the war, but had to wait until he left to army to make his senior debut.[3] He made 14 league appearances for North Melbourne, from 1946 to 1949.[4]
Midway through the 1949 season, Allan got a clearance to Brighton, in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).[5] In 1950, Allan captained the North Melbourne seconds team, which finished runners-up.[6] He returned to the VFA in 1951, joining Preston, then in 1952 moved to Tasmania to captain-coach North West Football Union club Latrobe.[6] [7] His time in charge of Latrobe included a top four finish in 1953.[8]
His son, Barry, played for North Melbourne in the 1960s.[9]
