Harold Louis Lambert[1] (16 May 1922 – 22 May 2021) was an Australian rules footballer for Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Lambert made his debut in 1940, winning the best first year junior player award for the season.[2] He missed four years of football from 1942 to 1945 when he was serving in the Australian Army in Papua New Guinea and the Pacific during World War II.[3] A half-back flanker, he played in three Essendon premierships upon his return, in 1946, 1949 and 1950.
His older brother Chris Lambert also played for Essendon.[4]
