Stats
Bio
Recruited from local side St Kilda Rovers, Bob Myers was a mid-sized utility who managed a brief tenure with the Saints in the early 1950s. He struggled to break into the senior lineup consistently, playing just eight games across two seasons without registering a goal. However, Myers found his true calling in country football after leaving the VFL, particularly with Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula. Adopting the nickname "Mick," he reinvented himself as a dangerous forward, twice topping Sorrento's goalkicking and playing a pivotal role in their 1964 premiership triumph.
