Jack Beveridge
John Robert Beveridge was an Australian rules footballer who represented in the Victorian Football League and West Perth in the Western Australian National Football League.
Beveridge played as a centreman and was noted for his handballing skills. He finished equal seventh in the 1933 Brownlow Medal and was a member of the Collingwood side which won four premierships in a row under Jock McHale.
After leaving Collingwood he joined West Perth in the WANFL and helped them to win their second consecutive premiership.
In 1937 he moved to Tasmania and was captain-coach of Launceston, the club winning the NTFA premiership for the fifth consecutive season and also the State premiership for that season.
Beveridge's grandson, Luke, also played football at VFL/AFL level and currently coaches the Western Bulldogs who he coached to the 2016 AFL premiership.
