Albert Edward "Butch" Prior (15 January 1921 – 21 January 1971[1]) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the VFL during the 1940s.[2]
Family
The son of Thomas Edward Prior (1882–1968), and Charlotte Nicholls Prior (1884–1956), née Jensen,[3] Albert Edward Prior was born at Melbourne, Victoria on 15 January 1921.
He married June Ivy Rose Braden (1924–2003) in 1945.
Football
A full-forward,[4][5][6] he topped Hawthorn's goalkicking in every season from 1946 to 1949 with a best of 67 goals in 1947. He kicked 8 goals in a match three times: against Footscray on 3 May 1947, against Richmond on 17 May 1947 and, in his last match for Hawthorn, in a season where Hawthorn lost all 18 of its home-and-away games, against South Melbourne on 19 August 1950.
In 1951 Prior was cleared from Hawthorn and was appointed coach of the East Hawthorn team in the Eastern Suburban League.[7][8]
