Bruce McGregor

Bruce McGregor

Harry Bruce McGregor was an Australian rules footballer who played with West Adelaide and South Adelaide in the SANFL. His son Ken also played for West Adelaide and was a successful tennis player while his grandson of the same name currently plays for the Adelaide Crows.

Originally from the Broken Hill Football League where he was a Hurley Medalist, McGregor was recruited by West Adelaide in 1923. McGregor played 102 games for West Adelaide over seven seasons and was a member of their 1927 premiership side. He made his own bit of history in 1927 when he became the first ever West Adelaide player to win back to back Magarey Medal, having won the award the previous season. He represented South Australia at interstate level 22 times during his career.

After two seasons as captain-coach of North Hobart he returned to the SANFL and joined South Adelaide. He played just a couple of game before standing down as a player but coached the club for the rest of the year. In 1934 he was appointed coach of Glenelg and that season coached them to their first ever premiership.
