Bio
A journeyman who took a scenic route to the top level, Billy Egan arrived at St Kilda via the VFA and a rare stint in New South Wales. Born in North Melbourne, he initially played for West Sydney in the NSWFL—where he represented a Combined Sydney team in 1904—before returning to Victoria to serve with Prahran and Footscray. He finally broke into the VFL with the Saints in 1909, featuring in eight matches during a difficult year for the club that resulted in the wooden spoon. Unable to cement a long-term position at the Junction Oval, Egan eventually departed the league to finish his career with Melbourne City in the Association.
