Anthony "Bos" Daly was an Australian rules footballer who played for the five teams in the South Australian Football Association between 1893 and 1912.^[1]

In 1893, whilst playing for Norwood, he set a record for the most goals kicked by a player in a single game, scoring 23 of his team's 29 goals in a huge win over Adelaide (unrelated to the modern day team in the Australian Football League). However due to the visitors being unable to field a full team, the game was played with fewer players than normal.^[2][3]

He is the brother of John "Bunny" Daly, who was also inducted in the South Australian Football Hall of Fame.
