Lindsay Jacob (24 November 1946 – 8 July 2014) was an Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Jacob started his career in the Hume Football League, playing for Walla Walla.[2] In 1966, a premiership year, Jacob was joint winner of the league's best and fairest award, now known as the Azzi Medal.[3] He joined Ovens & Murray Football League side Corowa the following year and in 1968 was a member of their premiership team.[4]

A rover, Jacob made two appearances for North Melbourne in the 1969 VFL season.[5] He made his debut in their opening round win over South Melbourne at Arden Street and also played the following week against Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[5][6]

Jacob captain-coached Kedron in Queensland from 1970 to 1974.[7]

Having already played in NSW, Victoria and Queensland, Jacob made his way to a fourth state in 1975 to play for Tasmanian club Ulverstone.[7]

Jacob was back at Kedron in 1976 and 1977, then had a stint with Sherwood, before returning to Kedron to play in the 1980 and 1981 seasons.[7] Over the course of his career in Queensland, he represented the state in 10 interstate games and was state captain in 1970.[7]
