Arthur Mervyn Sanger (26 March 1918 – 3 December 1999) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
From Daylesford, Sanger was a back pocket specialist, who kicked the only goal of his league career when he came on as 19th man for a match against Footscray in his second season. Carlton were VFL premiers in Sanger's first and last seasons, but he wasn't selected for either side. He was however a member of their 1945 premiership team, playing from the back pocket in the famed 'Bloodbath' Grand Final. His career ended when he suffered a badly broken arm in 1947.[2]
Sanger was appointed coach of the Carlton Under 19 team in 1951 and guided them to a Premiership in his first year.
