Ernest James McDougall (28 September 1885 – 15 March 1963) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]
A small player, he made his debut late in the 1902 season at the age of 16 and acquitted himself well.[3] He only played four games, all of them before his eighteenth birthday.
After his brief football career McDougall became a dentist, working in Melbourne for three years before moving to London. While in London, he enlisted to serve in the Australian Army Medical Corps in World War I in 1916[4] and he remained there after being discharged in 1919, working in a private dental practice.[5]
