Anthony Joseph "Bos" Daly (9 January 1874 – 21 August 1942[1]) was anAustralian rules footballer who played for the five teams in theSouth Australian Football Association (SAFA) between 1893 and 1912.[2]
He is the brother ofJohn "Bunny" Daly, who was also inducted in the South Australian Football Hall of Fame.
In 1893, whilst playing forNorwood, he set a record for the most goals kicked by a player in a single game of elite football, which has been equaled but remains unbeaten to date. Daly kicked 23 of Norwood's 29 goals in a 27-goal win overAdelaide (unrelated to themodern-day AFL team). However, due to the visitors being unable to field a full team, the game was played with fourteen players per side instead of the normal twenty of the time.[3][4]
Daly kicked 88 goals for the season, including 49 against Adelaide (he kicked five (on debut), six, and fifteen goals in the other three matches), who dropped out of the SAFA and folded at the end of 1893. Daly's season total remained an elite football record until broken byBonny Campbell in theWAFL in 1926, and a South Australian record until broken byKen Farmer in 1930.
