Stats
Bio
Recruited from the local West Beach Football Club, George May was a Prahran-born utility who stepped into the St Kilda lineup during the club’s difficult formative years in the VFL. Joining a side that was significantly off the pace set by the league's foundation powerhouses, May experienced a tough initiation at the elite level, featuring in ten senior games across the 1898 and 1899 seasons while the Saints endured consecutive wooden spoon finishes. He provided much-needed depth to a struggling squad during an era where the club famously found wins nearly impossible to come by, eventually departing the top level as St Kilda looked to overhaul its list at the turn of the century.
