Stats
Bio
A product of the Camperdown Football Club in the Hampden League, Bryan King was a diminutive recruit who ventured to the city to try his luck with St Kilda in 1956. Standing just 174cm, King broke into the senior side as a 20-year-old, debuting in Round 2 against Footscray and donning the number 37 guernsey for a Saints team that was languishing near the bottom of the ladder. He played six games as a small utility during a season where the club managed only four wins, playing alongside developing stars like Neil Roberts, but he was unable to secure a regular spot or register a goal. His VFL career was confined to that single season, typifying the transient nature of many country recruits during St Kilda's difficult post-war period before he likely returned to regional football.
