Edward Pruen Cordner (31 January 1919 – 4 March 1996)[1][2] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1940s.

Family

[edit]

The older brother of Melbourne Team of the Century members Denis and Don Cordner, Ted would have played more than 52 games had he not pursued a medical career. His youngest brother was John.[3][4]

He married Elizabeth Anne Baillieu on 4 December 1951.[5]

Football

[edit]

Cordner joined the club in 1941 and was a member of their premiership winning side. He missed the entire 1944 and 1945 seasons due to him being busy serving as a naval doctor but managed to play 19 games in 1946 as well as representing Victoria in an interstate match.
