Richard Thomas Mullaly (19 June 1892 – 11 June 1971) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Family

The son of William Patrick Mullaly (-1936),[1] and Emma Mullaly, née Dillon, he was born on 19 June 1892. He married Gertrude Sarah Black (1893-1919) in 1916.[2] They had a daughter, Catherine Marie (1918-).[3]

Football

Recruited locally from Leopold, Mullaly played mainly as a centreman during his time at South Melbourne.[7] He participated in South Melbourne's 1912 and 1914 VFL Grand Final losses.[8]

Mullaly continued to serve South Melbourne after his retirement in the role of Club Secretary, a position he held for 12 years[9][10] — with the collection of players recruited from interstate in 1932/1933 becoming known as South Melbourne's "Foreign Legion".[11] He was awarded life membership in 1940.[12]

He was also a selector for the Victorian interstate team and helped pick the side which competed in the 1933 Sydney Carnival.
