Stats
Bio
Recruited as a seasoned defender from VFA club Oakleigh, Eric Guy wasted no time establishing himself as one of the VFL's most uncompromising half-back flankers. Nicknamed "The Tank" for his iron build and fearless attack on the contest, he provided steel to the St Kilda defence, playing his entire 93-game career without kicking a goal—a testament to his discipline and strictly defensive mindset. His standing at Moorabbin was significant, serving as club vice-captain for three seasons and earning selection for Victoria in interstate football. Guy's contribution to the Saints extended well beyond his playing days, as he returned to the club to serve as a trusted assistant to legendary coach Allan Jeans, even stepping in as caretaker senior coach on two separate occasions during the 1970s.
