Tom Clancy

Who is Tom Clancy?

Thomas 'Tom' Clancy was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne, Carlton and Collingwood in the Victorian Football League.

A winger from Williamstown, Clancy could only manage one appearance at South Melbourne in 1908. He resurrected his career when he came to Carlton and he was a regular in their team from 1910 to 1914. Clancy was a losing Grand Finalist in his first year at the club and when he wasn't picked in their side for the 1914 premiership decider, owing to a disagreement with the coach, he left and joined Collingwood. He participated in the 1915 Grand Final with Collingwood, in his favourite position of wingman but again finished on the losing team.
