Ike Little (19 January 1888 – 14 June 1945)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]
Little started his career in the VFA where he took the field for North Melbourne.[3] He was used mostly in the forward pocket during his only season at Carlton and kicked a goal in their Grand Final win that year.[4] This makes him perhaps Carlton's youngest ever premiership player, at just 18 years of age.
