Bio
Recruited from the country, Barry McIntyre joined St Kilda in 1958 as a dangerous opportunist forward capable of hitting the scoreboard. Despite showing promise at VFL level and featuring in the Saints' 1958 Night Series premiership victory, the man from the bush struggled to adapt to city life in Melbourne. He managed 11 senior games over three seasons before prioritizing his happiness and returning to his dairy farm in Deniliquin. Back home, he cemented his legacy as a local football figure, coaching the Deniliquin Rovers and later seeing his son, Peter McIntyre, reach the top level as an inaugural player for the Adelaide Crows.
