Teams

Recruited from the local Windsor club, Harry Clarke made a fleeting appearance at the top level with St Kilda during the 1909 season. A forward option capable of hitting the scoreboard, he managed to boot two goals during his month-long stint in the senior side, contributing majors in matches where the Saints often struggled to find avenues to goal. His VFL career was ultimately short-lived, limited to just four appearances in the red, white, and black before he exited the league, remaining one of many players from the era to have a brief taste of elite football before returning to local ranks.
