Thomas Charles Rankin (3 May 1881 – 18 February 1958) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1] His brother, Edwin (known as ‘Teddy’) and other members of the Rankin family also played for Geelong.[2]
Rankin got off to a promising start in the 1904 and early 1905 seasons, but his career was compromised by serious injuries to his knee and kidney sustained during a match in May 1905.[3] He married Adeline Harrison and raised a family of ten children. After football, he remained in Geelong where he worked as a gardener and greenkeeper.[4]
