Edward Alan "Ted" Ryan (14 June 1926 – 22 November 2003) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2] Ryan started out at Oakleigh in the Victorian Football Association, from where he was recruited by Footscray.[3] He appeared in six league games for Footscray, from rounds three to eight, in the 1945 VFL season.[4] Oakleigh regained Ryan's services in 1946, without him being granted a clearance.[5] [6] He was full-back in Oakleigh's 1950 premiership team, a position he was only playing because of an injury to backman Alex Boyle.[6] [7] Also that year he was a member of the VFA representative team that played in Canberra in 1950.[8] [9] In 1951 he left for Hampden Football League club Mortlake, which he coached for three seasons. He returned to Oakleigh in 1954.[10]
