Ted Pool (9 November 1906 – 11 February 1975) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the VFL.
Pool was a rover, and by playing 200 games of VFL football he became the first ever West Australian born player to reach the milestone.
Despite his ability, playing for Victoria seven times, Hawthorn were not very a successful team during his career; Pool is (as of 2012) one of only five players in the AFL/VFL to play 200 games or more without playing a final (the other four are Steve Smith of Melbourne, Chris Newman of Richmond, and Geoff Cunningham and Trevor Barker of St. Kilda).
Famous quotes containing the word pool:
“I’ th’ world’s volume
Our Britain seems as of it, but not in’ t;
In a great pool a swan’s nest.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
