Anthony Joseph "Bos" Daly (9 January 1874 – 21 August 1942) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the five teams in the South Australian Football Association between 1893 and 1912.In 1893, whilst playing for Norwood, he set a record for the most goals kicked by a player in a single game of elite football, that has been equalled but remains unbeaten as of 2018.
Daly kicked 23 of Norwood's 29 goals in a 27 goal 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.Daly kicked 88 goals for the season, including 49 against Adelaide (he kicked five (on debut), six and 15 goals in the other three matches), who dropped out of the SAFA and folded at the end of 1893.
Daly's season total remained an elite football record until broken by Gordon Coventry in the VFL in 1927, and a South Australian record until broken by Ken Farmer in 1930. He is the brother of John "Bunny" Daly, who was also inducted in the South Australian Football Hall of Fame.
