Bio
A mature-age recruit who waited until his thirties to taste VFL football, George St John was a local product from the Port Melbourne district, eventually signed from Railways United. He earned his stripes with Richmond during their inaugural VFL campaign in 1908, utilised as a half-forward who could chip in with a goal. Unable to secure a regular spot in the Tigers' lineup over two seasons, he drifted out of the league before surfacing briefly at Melbourne in 1911. His tenure with the Fuchsias was limited to a solitary appearance against Fitzroy, marking the end of a fleeting top-level career that spanned just five games across two clubs.
