Family
The son of Jeremiah John Daly (1871-1946), and Ruby Minnie Daly (1889-1967), née Cleary, Gordon Eric Daly was born at Numurkah, Victoria on 19 January 1915.
He married Mary Kathleen "Mollie" Cummins (1917-) in 1939. They had two children.
Football
Daly was recruited from the Sandhurst Football Club in the Bendigo Football League (BFL). He experienced considerable team success during his short VFL career, not playing in a loss until his 14th appearance.

From 1942 to 1945, he did not feature in the VFL due to the war, during which time he served with the Australian Army. He returned to Melbourne in the 1946 season, but would play just three games.

He enlisted in the Australian Army in December 1941, served overseas in the Bougainville campaign, and was discharged in December 1945.
