**Gary Window** (born 11 January 1941) is a former [Australian rules footballer](/source/Australian_rules_football) who played with [Central District](/source/Central_District_Football_Club) in the [South Australian National Football League](/source/South_Australian_National_Football_League) (SANFL).[1]

Window played his football in either the centre or at centre half-forward. He was one of the early stars of the Central District Football Club, winning the [Magarey Medal](/source/Magarey_Medal) in 1965 to become the club's first ever recipient of the award. Window was also the first ever Central District player to be chosen to represent [South Australia](/source/South_Australia_Australian_rules_football_team) at interstate football. Injury and loss of form in the subsequent years restricted him to a total of 84 SANFL games. He later became a football commentator and was famous for his enthusiasm. In 2005 he was inducted into the SA Football Hall of Fame.

## Personal life

Window comes from a four [generation list of footballers](/source/List_of_Australian_rules_football_families) — his father Clarrie Window (Glenelg) and son Peter Window both played SANFL football. His grandson Hunter also plays at senior level for Glenelg and granddaughter [Piper Window](/source/Piper_Window) for the Port Adelaide AFLW team .[2]
