Born in Boronia to politician Alfred Elliott Chandler and Marie Christiane Intemann, Allan Chandler moved to Hawthorn from Burwood, making his debut as a ruckman midway through the 1928 season against Fitzroy.[2] In the final game of that season his brother Gilbert also played for Hawthorn in his only senior VFL game. Allan Chandler went on to play 55 games over five seasons with Hawthorn.
Outside of his football career, Chandler worked as a nurseryman and florist in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Allan Chandler died suddenly in 1970, at the age of 62.[3]
