Albert Victor Hyde (3 June 1907 – 23 October 1989) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the VFL.
Family
The son of Arthur James Hyde (1879-1949), and Alice Frances Louisa Hyde (1867-1956), née Letch, Albert Victor Hyde was born at Brunswick East, Victoria on 3 June 1907.
Football
Brunswick (VFA)
Recruited from East Brunswick, he played in 10 First XVII matches (scoring 5 goals) with Brunswick Football Club in 1924.
Hawthorn (VFL)
Hyde was a full-forward and was Hawthorn's major goal-kicker during their first decade in the VFL: he topped their goal-kicking from 1926–1930, with a best of 62 goals in 1928 to finish third in the VFL's goal-kicking — an impressive feat considering that Hawthorn finished last without a win. His last couple of seasons at Hawrthorn were spent at full back.
Victoria (VFL)
He is the only player to have been selected to represent the VFL at both full-forward (1928),[1] and at full-back (1933).[2]
Preston (VFA)
Hyde became captain-coach of Preston Football Club on 21 December 1935;[3] and, during his first season at Preston (1936) he was joint winner of the Recorder Cup. He retired at the end of 1937.
Athlete
Running as the favourite,[4] he came second (by a foot) to R.L. Barker in the 1932 Stawell Gift final.[5]
After football
After the war Hyde served for many years on the committee at Hawthorn.
Later, Hyde was a businessman in Melbourne.[6] In 1965 he was appointed President of the Metropolitan Football League.[6]
Death
He died on 23 October 1989[7] and is buried at Rye Cemetery.[8]
