Douglas Leslie Ringrose (4 August 1900 – 28 December 1953) [2] was an Australian rules footballer who played for and coached Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1920s.
Ringrose was also an exceptional soccer player when he was a teenager, living in Tasmania. [3]
Ringrose played with West Melbourne Football Club in 1920, before moving to Brighton in 1921. [4]
In 1922, Ringrose was captain-coach of the Benalla in the Ovens & Murray Football League [5] and was a great acquisition to the club, [6] leading them to fourth position, where they lost the first semi final to Wangaratta. [7]
Ringrose won Brighton's Most Consistent Player award in 1927 [8] when they finished runners up in the VFA Grand Final. [9]
Ringrose, who came from Brighton in 1928, was a handy player for Fitzroy in his two seasons, averaging almost a goal a game. He spent the majority of the 1929 season as playing coach of Fitzroy, with the club managing just two wins.
In 1930, Ringrose coached East Albury in the Ovens & Murray Football League to the Preliminary Final, losing to Wangaratta and breaking his collarbone. [10]
Ringrose trained with Brighton in early 1931 [11] and was also listed as an official Victorian Football League umpire in 1931. [12]
Ringrose was captain-coach of the Yarram Football Club in the Gippsland Football League in 1932 [13] and 1933. [14] Ringrose kicked 31 goals in 1933. [15] Ringrose did not coach Yarram in 1934, but continued to play. [16]
