Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox cricketer Aldam Murr Pettinger (30 July 1859 – 18 August 1950) was a leading sportsman in South Australia in the late nineteenth century.

Born in Adelaide in 1859, the son of a police inspector,[1] Pettinger represented South Australia in cricket, Australian rules football, baseball and bowls, was a leading local lacrosse player, golfer, steeplechase rider, an excellent gun shot, and bred and trained hunting dogs.[2]

Pettinger began playing club cricket for the North Adelaide Young Men's Society (later known as North Adelaide)[3] in 1876/77, serving as captain for many seasons,[4] retiring at the end of the 1896/97 season.[5]

Pettinger played in one first-class match for South Australia in 1880/81[6] (South Australia's first 11-a- side match against Victoria) and a non-first-class match, for a South Australian XV against Australia on 26-29 November 1880.[7]

Pettinger founded the South Australian Football Association (SAFA) club South Park in 1877[2][8] and captained the club until its dissolution in 1884,[2][9] after which he played for Adelaide Football Club on its readmission to SAFA in 1885.[2]

Following his retirement from cricket and football, Pettinger became involved in golf and lawn bowls, winning the Adelaide Bowling Club championships "many times"[2] and for many years was able to play a round of golf in less than his age in years.[10]

Outside of sport, Pettinger worked for D. and W. Murray Ltd, a wholesale importing firm,[11] for 50 years, starting upon leaving school at 16 and retiring as company secretary and director,[12] and served as a Justice of the Peace.[13]

On his death in 1950, Pettinger was referred to as "the grand old man of South Australian sport".[2]
