George Sparrow

George Stephen Sparrow (20 November 1869 – 6 April 1933)[2] was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne and both played for and coached St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Nicknamed 'Sugar', Sparrow began his career in the Victorian Football Association playing for Richmond, where he was captain for two years.

He joined the VFL in its second season, and after having to sit out 1897 to gain a clearance, represented South Melbourne before switching to St Kilda the following year.

He returned again in 1928, this time for a two-season stint, with the Saints finishing sixth, missing the finals on percentage.
