Carlton's history is lavishly embroidered with the deeds of its little blokes; the rovers, the wingmen; the forward and back pocket players who have brought glory to themselves and this great club for more than 140 years.
So whenever the question is asked, 'who was the best of all Carlton's small men?' a lively debate is assured. One thing is certain however; the name of Adrian 'Gags' Gallagher will feature prominently in any discussion. Over eight seasons, Gallagher was an integral part of the greatest first ruck of all. He developed an instinctive, almost telepathic combination with champion ruckman John Nicholls and ruck-rover Serge Silvagni in an era when this trio were the platform for two Carlton Premierships.
Gags was recruited by Carlton in 1960 from Yarram in Gippsland, in his time at the Blues he played in the U/15's, U/17's and then to the U/19's. In 1963 he was Carlton's best player in their U/19's premiership, won the club's best and fairest award and finished third in the competition's best player award, the Morrish Medal. By that time Nicholls and Silvagni had been team-mates for three seasons, and in the 179 cm, 73 kg red-headed youngster, the two emerging stars found their perfect foil. Gallagher was not particularly quick across the ground -- he didn't need to be. He was a terrific reader of the play and a great crumber off the packs. His disposal skills -- by hand or foot - were excellent, and he was a tough, durable competitor.
