Phillip Daniel Nagle (21 August 1921 – 8 July 1993)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Nagle, a rover, was recruited from Collingwood CYMS.[2] He made seven appearances for Richmond in the 1941 VFL season, including the club's semi-final loss to Essendon, then did not play for the next four seasons due to the Second World War.[3][4] When Nagle returned in the opening round of the 1946 season, he was reported for striking Fitzroy player Noel Price.[5] He was able to play against North Melbourne the following week, but then received his punishment, a four-game suspension.[3][6] It was not until round 10 that he made his way back into the team and he finished the year with eight appearances.[3] He then captain-coached Echuca Football League club Deniliquin in 1947.[7] They finished runners-up to Echuca that year.[8]
