Edward Alexander Sivies (17 June 1902 – 14 July 1951) was an
Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Family
The son of Alexander Sivies (1875-1943),[2] and Henrietta Elisabeth Sivies (1881-1954),[3][4] née Wooster, Edward Alexander Sivies was born at Williamstown, Victoria on 17 June 1902.
He married Alice Maude Cook (1901-1991) in 1924.
Football
Originally from the Williamstown Juniors in the
Victorian Football Association (VFA), signing with the club and assuming the full back position in the club's 1923 premiership campaign,[5] in the absence of regular full back Jack Meuleman who missed the season with illness.[6] Upon Meuleman's return in 1924 — and with Sivies not selected in the Footscray list of players for the 1924 season — Sivies sought a clearance to VFL club South Melbourne. It was granted on 14 May 1924.[7] After a single game and less than two months with the club, he was cleared again, this time to VFA club Port Melbourne where he played in late 1924.[8][9][10][11][12][13]
Death
He died at Yarraville, Victoria on 14 July 1951.[14][15]
