George Frederick Kanngieser (27 February 1912 – 27 January 1997) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Family

[edit]

The son of Jonathan Anthony Kanngieser (1877-1952),[2] and Emily Letitia Kanngieser (1880-1916),[3] née Trinnear,[4] George Frederick Kanngieser was born in Collingwood on 27 February 1912. He married Mary Lorrane Cario Bennet in 1937.

Football

[edit]

Promoted from the Collingwood Second XVIII, he played his only First XVIII match for Collingwood on 24 August 1935, against Melbourne.[5] Selected in the first ruck, in a drawn match — Collingwood 11.13 (79) to Melbourne's 10.19 (79) — "Kanngieser, for a newcomer, showed promise".[6]

He was cleared from Collingwood to Brunswick Football Club, in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1937.[7] He played fifteen games there for two years, selected as an emergency for Brunswick in the 1938 grand final,[8] but was not part of the premiership team.[9]

Kanngieser was cleared from Brunswick to Preston Football Club, also in the VFA, in 1939,[10] where he played two games.[11]
