Bio
Recruited from VFA club Preston, Bill "Socks" Maslen was a diminutive utility who played a brief role for St Kilda during a particularly bleak era for the club. Standing just 173cm, he was a slightly built centreman who frequently operated out of the back pocket, relying on agility and neat distribution to counter larger opponents. Maslen featured in 20 games across two seasons, enduring the Saints' winless 1939 campaign before returning to the Association midway through 1940. While he could not secure a long-term VFL career, he established a significant legacy at Preston, playing over 170 games and serving as a key figure for the Bullants on either side of the Second World War.
