Albert Clarence "Bert" Armstrong (26 February 1890 – 15 August 1969) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Armstrong, a full-forward, was recruited from North Melbourne, then playing in the Victorian Football Association.[1] He was Essendon's leading goal-kicker in 1910, his first season, with 30 goals. [2] In 1911 he kicked 25 goals, which were enough to finish equal second in the goal-kicking, behind his elder brother Lou Armstrong.[3] He twice kicked six goals in a game for Essendon, against Melbourne in 1910 at the MCG and Collingwood the following year at East Melbourne.[3] Injury kept him out of both Essendon's 1911 and 1912 premiership teams and sciatica problems meant he didn't play at all in 1913.[4] Armstrong crossed to Essendon Association during the 1914 season.[4] He also played for Brighton during his career.[4]
