General notes

The Advertiser obituary for Brannigan published 28 October 1947, page 3, recorded; Mr. J.F.M. (Pug) Bannigan, of Kensington Park, who died on Monday at the age of 55 was a prominent league footballer for Sturt before World War I. He played for Sturt from 1908 to 1914, and was captain for a time. Enlisting in the AIF early in the war, he was later taken prisoner. He returned to the Sturt team for a few matches in 1920 and was a rover for Sturt in the days of the great Cumberland-Dunn ruck combination."
