Harry Equid

Harry Equid (8 October 1923 – 2 February 1984) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1940s.

Equid began his VFL career after serving with the army in World War II and made his debut against North Melbourne, in the final game of the 1945 season, kicking three goals. In 1946 he continued where he had left off and started the season with a goalscoring sequence of three, three and seven. He finished the year with 35 majors, the last of which came from the half forward flank in Essendon's Grand Final win over Melbourne. He was also used as a follower and favoured the place kick when shooting for goal.

After making just seven appearances in 1947, which included a bag of six goals against Footscray, Equid had his final season in 1948 and played his last game in his club's losing Grand Final team. He then went to the Victorian Football Association and captain-coached Coburg, winning that club's Best and Fairest award in 1949. He then played for South Mildura in 1954.
