About Jack McMillan
Lived 1912 – 1969 (aged 56). Jack McMillan was an australian rules football player.
John Angus McMillan (22 September 1912 – 1 August 1969) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
McMillan, a full-forward, kicked a club record 119 goals for Hastings in 1934. He left Mornington Peninsula Football League for the VFL two years later and had an immediate impact.
On his debut, against North Melbourne at Arden Street, he kicked a seven-goal haul. This equaled the VFL record, held by George Moloney and Ernie Sellars. He continued this form with five goals the following week but his run soon ended when he broke a wrist. After he recovered from his injury, McMillan returned, but only to the seconds. He was a member of Footscray's 1936 seconds premiership winning team.
