Who was Allan Belcher?
Allan Belcher was an Australian rules footballer who played with and coached Essendon in the Victorian Football League. He was the brother of South Melbourne player Vic Belcher.
Belcher started his career with Collingwood but it was with Essendon that he established himself as one of the premier ruckmen in the league. Known as "King Belcher" formed a combination in the ruck with Fred Baring and Ernie Cameron, culminating in premiership success in 1912.
