Bruce Pollard (born 1945) is an Australian former rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s, and a dual premiership winner with St. George.
Career
Pollard played his junior football for Renown United JRLFC. He went on to play five first grade seasons with St. George between 1963-1967.
He joined the first grade side after Brian Clay had broken his arm in 1963, and played in the 1963 Grand Final as an 18 year old.[2]
Pollard went on to become a dual premiership player, winning the Grand Finals of 1963 and 1966. In 1966, he played as a centre, replacing the injured Reg Gasnier.
Pollard retired after the 1967 preliminary final when St. George were beaten 12-11 by Canterbury-Bankstown. This game finished the Dragons 11 straight premiership winning sequence by eliminating them from the 1967 Grand Final.[3]
