Eric Guy

Eric Arthur Guy (18 August 1932 – 3 May 1991)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the VFL.

In a controversial start to his career at Oakleigh, both Guy and his Carrum teammate Bill Botten played the opening match of the 1952 season before their transfer paperwork had been formally lodged, which resulted in the match, which Oakleigh had won by ten goals, being forfeited to Brunswick.

A tough and fearless half back flanker, he served as vice-captain at St Kilda for three of his six seasons, as well as representing Victoria in interstate football.

The side include a young schoolboy named Peter Knights who would become a Hawthorn champion.
