O'Halloran was a follower, originally from Eaglehawk in the Bendigo Football League. He kicked a league equaling record seven goals on his VFL debut, against Footscray at Western Oval.[3] Over the next two seasons he had the unusual distinction of playing for three clubs. He was at South Melbourne in 1940 and then joined Yarraville, from where he was cleared to Footscray.[4]
He had a son, Eddie, who played with Footscray during the early 1960s.[5]
