Lindsay Head

Lindsay Hudson Head MBE (born 16 September 1935 in North Adelaide, South Australia) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with West Torrens in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).

In 1953, he lined up in the senior South Australian state team to play Victoria.

The Australian Football Hall of Fame's description refers to his "magnificent skills on both sides of his body,"[2] which is unfortunate as Head never learned to kick with his left foot.

His loyalty to his Eagles was therefore remarkable, particularly given that he was pursued not only by other SANFL clubs, but also by the wealthier Victorian Football League competition, notably receiving a big offer from the struggling South Melbourne in 1955.

[3] Head played cricket for South Australia as a right-hand opening batsman (1957/58–1958/59).
