Timeline

1934

Allen James Aylett OBE (24 April 1934 – 16 September 2022) was an Australian rules football player and administrator.

Aylett was born in Melbourne on 24 April 1934.

He attended University High School in his hometown.

He made his debut for North Melbourne at the age of 17 while he was still in secondary school, a rare feat at the time.

It was as an Australian rules football rover that Aylett first made his mark.

1950

He played as a batsman in 11 first-class matches in the 1950s for domestic cricket side Victoria but was not successful, finishing with a batting average of just 16.

He played district cricket for Carlton (two seasons) and University (six seasons), averaging 27.

1952

He played 220 games and kicked 311 goals, in a career spanning 1952–1964.

1958

He won North Melbourne's best and fairest award from 1958 to 1960, was All-Australian in 1958 and 1961, won the Tassie Medal in 1958 (the first player from Victoria to win), won the Simpson Medal in 1960, and was captain of his side from 1961 to 1964.

He was selected in the North Melbourne Football Club's Team of the Century.

Aylett also had a brief cricketing career that he never fully pursued due to his interest in Australian rules football.

1970

Aylett is best known for his career as an administrator in the 1970s and 1980s.

1971

He was the chairman/president of the North Melbourne Football Club from 1971 to 1976, and then again from 2001 to 2005.

He was elected to the position of North Melbourne Football Club president in 1971, and his innovative off-field leadership in securing sponsorship and running corporate entertainment – including the rise of the North Melbourne Grand Final Breakfast as one of the Grand Final's most prominent events – followed by his aggressive recruitment of star players, particularly through the use of the short-lived "ten-year rule" in 1973, turned North Melbourne from perennial also-rans to a professionally run powerhouse of the 1970s, and the club contested five consecutive Grand Finals between 1974 and 1978, winning the 1975 and 1977 games.

1977

In between, he had been the chairman of the then Victorian Football League (VFL) from 1977 to 1984.

Aylett worked as a dentist throughout his career and into his eighties.

Aylett was elected president of the VFL in 1977.

He continued his aggressive efforts to push the game's administration towards professional and business-driven success.

His actions in setting up the VFL's Night Series in 1977, as a direct rival to the NFL's Night Series, delivered both sponsorship opportunities and laid the platform for the VFL to supersede the NFL for control of football in Australia.

Under his guidance, the league expanded into the Sydney market, making preparations for an expansion team before opted to relocate there; Aylett subsequently sat on the Swans' board of directors.

Additionally, during his tenure, the VFL began to establish regular Sunday matches in Victoria; and he fought the Melbourne Cricket Club and the Victorian Government to move the Grand Final to VFL Park, ultimately failing to make the move, but securing a better financial deal for the VFL and better ticket access for VFL members.

1978

Aylett also served as president of the National Football League from 1978 until 1985.

1979

In the 1979 Birthday Honours, Aylett was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to Australian rules football.

1984

2000

On 24 October 2000, he was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his contribution to Australian Football.

2001

He subsequently returned for a second and final stint as North Melbourne Kangaroos president from 2001 to 2005.
