Allan Jeans

Allan Jeans (born 21 September 1933) is a legendary Australian rules football coach. He was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in its inception in 1996.

t Kilda

After a modest 77-game playing career with the St Kilda Football Club (1955-1959), Jeans, known as "Yabby", took the reins of the Saints in 1961 for a remarkable 16-year career as senior coach. He coached St Kilda to successive grand finals, in 1965 and 1966, including the Saints' first (and only) VFL premiership in 1966. He took the Saints to another grand final appearance in 1971. Claiming "burn-out" he retired from coaching the team at the end of 1976. [ [http://www.fullpointsfooty.net/St_Kilda_part_2.htm St Kilda (2) ] ]

Hawthorn

In 1981 Jeans revived his remarkable coaching career when he was appointed coach for the Hawthorn Football Club. He coached there until 1990 (excepting a year off in 1988) establishing them as the dominant VFL team of the 1980s with premierships in 1983, 1986 and 1989.

Richmond

Finally, he had a short-lived one year stint at Richmond in 1992, winning only 5 out of 22 games.

Current

Jeans is now retired and is an avid lawn bowls player at Cheltenham Lawn Bowls Club. His most recent public appearance was during the post-match presentations at the 2006 AFL Grand Final.
