Harold John Gainger (23 June 1909 – 11 March 1988)[2] was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[3]

Career

Gainger, who was originally from Beeac, had already spent a season as captain-coach of Terang, before coming to St Kilda in 1934.[4][5]

Described by former Geelong coach Lloyd Hagger as "one of the best ruck men in the Western District", Gainger also played at centre half-forward.[5][6] He played 14 of a possible 18 games for St Kilda in the 1934 season and looked to leave the club the following year to coach Mortlake, but was unable to get a clearance.[7][8] Remaining at St Kilda, Gainger played seven league games that year, then only four in 1936.[7]

In 1937, Gainger went to Victorian Football Association club Sandringham, where he played for two seasons.[9][10]
