Albert John Thurgood (11 January 1874 – 8 May 1927) was an Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), Victorian Football League (VFL) and the Western Australian Football Association (WAFA).
He is considered one of the great champion players of the VFA and VFL and possibly the longest place kick of any code in history.[1] Described as "an ideal footballer", he usually played at centre-half-forward; but his skill and versatility enabled him to be switched to any position on the ground.[2] He has been described as the “first icon of Australian Rules football”.[3]
