Sidney Norman Smith (25 October 1890 – 26 February 1952) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
The son of Frederick Smith (1860-1891),[2] and Annie Elizabeth Smith (1863-1939), née Clarke, later Mrs. Archibald James Young,[3][4] Sidney Norman Smith was born at Geelong on 25 October 1890.
He married Ivy Kathleen Keene (1892-1973) on 2 May 1918.[5] Their son (also "Sid Smith") played for Geelong in 1952 and 1953.
Recruited from the Barwon Football Club in the local Geelong and District Football Association (GDFA),[6] he played five senior VFL games for Geelong, in the first five rounds of the 1911 season, and then returned to play with the Barwon club.[7]
