Adrian Gallagher, widely known as "Gags" (and was also known as "Golly" before he started to lose his mop of curly hair), is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

He was also an outstanding cricketer and, perhaps, a better cricketer than he was a footballer. He received many offers to play County Cricket in England, but preferred to stay in Melbourne over the Australian winter and play football for Carlton. Apart from Collingwood's Bill Picken, [Not only did Picken play both first-grade cricket and football for Collingwood, but he also has the dubious distinction of being the first first-grade cricketer ever to be suspended by the Victorian Cricket Association for striking an opponent during a cricket match.] Adrian is certainly the last player to play both first grade football and first grade cricket for the same club (Carlton).

Gallagher made his debut for the Carlton Football Club in Round 6, 1964. He was a tenacious, and courageous left-footer; and he was renowned for fearlessly burrowing into dense packs and coming out with the ball. He left the Blues and moved to Footscray at the end of the 1972 season.
