Mick Nolan (9 November 1949 – 27 May 2008) was an Australian rules football player for North Melbourne. Because of his weight of 135 kg and height of 194 cm Nolan was dubbed the The Galloping Gasometer by commentator Lou Richards. Until the emergence of Aaron Sandilands in the early 2000s Nolan was the heaviest ruckman to play VFL/AFL football. He was nevertheless surprisingly agile and regarded as one of the best palm ruckmen of the 1970s.
