Alan Charles Olle (23 July 1924 – 12 October 2004) was an Australian rules footballer who played for St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL). In 1952 Alan accepted a coaching role in Sorrento when the Coulter Law restricted payments to VFL players to £3 per week, £7 less than Sorrento's offer. His employer, the Postmaster-General's Department (PMG) obliged with a transfer to Sorrento's telephone exchange. Only a year passed before Sorrento was celebrating under Olle's masterful leadership its first premiership in 18 years, defeating Frankston by 3 points 12-6-78 to 11-9-75 in a thriller. In a record-breaking 3-stint virtuoso over nine seasons, the first and second as playing coach (1952-1956 and 1959-61) the third and final as non-playing coach (1982). Olle and president Jim Thoms (ex-Footscray) were instrumental in attracting numerous talented VFL/VFA players to the club to mount the 1953 premiership assault - Mike Fitchett (Hawthorn), Dick Kennedy (Melbourne and Fitzroy), Alby Morrison (Footscray), Fred Stafford (1947 Carlton premiers), Ron Wilson (St.Kilda) and Norm Spencer (Brunswick).
