Anthony Joseph "Bos" Daly (9 January 1874 – 21 August 1942[1]) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the five teams in the South Australian Football Association between 1893 and 1912.[2]

In 1893, whilst playing for Norwood, he set a record for the most goals kicked by a player in a single game that remains as of 2016, scoring 23 of his team's 29 goals in a huge win over Adelaide (unrelated to the modern day team in the Australian Football League). However, due to the visitors being unable to field a full team, the game was played with fourteen players a side as opposed to the normal twenty of the time.[3][4]

He is the brother of John "Bunny" Daly, who was also inducted in the South Australian Football Hall of Fame.
