Allan Clark (rugby league)

Allan Percival Clark (1881–1935) was a pioneer Rugby League administrator with the St. George Dragons and is remembered with Joe McGraw as the men behind the big push to have the St. George Club admitted into the NSWRFL in 1921.

Being a bachelor he was able to devote the whole of his spare time in placing his services in an honorary capacity at the disposal of all kindred bodies and public activities in the St George District for many years.

[1] He held important executive positions, and conscientiously gave of his knowledge and experience spontaneously.

Prior to this he held various positions in connection with the Rugby League code, notably he being responsible for the introduction of a St. George Third Grade team into the Sydney competition in 1910 and he was Secretary of the club.

Allan Clark lived in the St George District for 42 years, and was living in Wilson Street Kogarah, New South Wales in 1935 although he died at Leeton, New South Wales whilst visiting his brother.
