Career highlights

Lawrence Gideon "Lardie" Tulloch (born 15 April 1871 – 1955) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the early years of the Victorian Football League (VFL).

He was born in Melbourne, the son of Daniel Tulloch and Elizabeth Trethway. Tulloch was a member of the Collingwood side which played in the inaugural VFL season, in 1897. A versatile player who was used at all ends of the ground, he was appointed captain in 1902 and led Collingwood to the premiership that season thus putting his name into history as the club's first ever VFL premiership winning captain. Another premiership followed the subsequent season and he remained as captain for 1904, which was his final league season. He later served as an umpire with his most notable game being the 1907 VFL Grand Final. In 1908 Tulloch was assaulted after a match which he had umpired between Melbourne and Geelong.[1] Later that season police struggled to protect Tulloch when he was mobbed by angry fans after a match between Carlton and St Kilda.[2]

Tulloch married Sarah Caroline Marshall (1872–1961) in Carlton, Victoria on 24 September 1903. He died in Carlton, Victoria in 1955.
