Bio
Jack Cliff was a recruit from West Broken Hill who arrived at the Junction Oval as part of a notable contingent of players from the mining town during the early 1940s. His transfer was highly anticipated, with St Kilda publicly pushing to expedite his clearance to ensure he could take the field for the 1940 season. Standing 175cm, Cliff established himself as a consistent small utility and contributor for the Saints, playing his entire 32-game career against the backdrop of the Second World War. He featured regularly in the senior side for three seasons before his VFL tenure concluded at the end of 1942, a year heavily impacted by the intensification of the war effort.
