Ivan Corry

Ivan Edwin Brian Corry (21 July 1907 – 8 May 1986) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

The son of police sergeant William James Corry and Rose Florence Brien, Ivan Corry grew up in Shepparton. He joined Hawthorn from Rupanyup at the start of the 1926 VFL season and after playing for the reserves for some weeks he made his debut against Carlton in Round 12 when as many as a dozen regular players were injured. Corry played another senior game two weeks later but then returned to the reserves.

A journalist by profession, from 1927 to 1932 Corry represented Press Football Club in the Wednesday League and won that league's best and fairest award in 1932. He also played with South Melbourne seconds before reappearing for Hawthorn late in the 1932 VFL season when he played four more matches. His senior career ended with six losses from the six games he played.

Ivan Corry married Phyllis Jean Dingle in 1935 and they lived in the Albert Park area until her death in 1967. Corry subsequently moved to Queensland where he resided until his death in 1986.
