Bio
Frank Silcock was a celebrated country footballer recruited from the dominant Hazlewood side in Gippsland, a team renowned for a reported 50-game winning streak during his tenure. Joining St Kilda as a 26-year-old mature-age recruit in 1921, he was one of several regional stars given a trial by the Saints as they sought to bolster their list. Silcock made four senior appearances and booted one goal, debuting in a mid-season clash against Carlton at the Junction Oval. After his brief taste of VFL action, he returned to the Latrobe Valley where he remained a prominent local sportsman and community figure for decades.
