Henry "Tracker" Young (16 May 1873 – 9 January 1923) was an Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2] A successful participant in numerous sports he was master of them all. He commanded respect whether it was on the football field, the boxing ring, riding in the Melbourne to Warrnambool road race, or rowing on Corio Bay.
Tracker's fitness was that impressive that it is well known that he ran 30 plus kilometres along the beach to the game, played four quarters in the ruck and then ran 30 kilometres back home.
