Hird joined Essendon in 1964, from Stawell, but didn't make his debut until 1966 when he came on as the 20th man in the final quarter of a game against St Kilda. He played his football as a centreman and played two more games that year but made just one more appearance, in the 1967 VFL season. During his time at the club, his father Allan Hird senior was an Essendon committeeman.

After a season with Heidelberg, Hird moved to Canberra, serving as captain-coach of Eastlake from 1969 to 1971.

He settled in Canberra, where he worked in the ACT Public Service. He remained involved in local football and from 1989 to 1991 was president of AFL Canberra.

His son, James Hird, also played for and coached Essendon.
