Stats
Bio
Recruited from City-South in Tasmania, John Bingley occupies a unique place in St Kilda folklore as a Premiership player whose entire VFL career comprised just eight senior games. The rugged back pocket broke into the senior side late in the 1966 season, peaking at the perfect moment to secure a spot in the Saints' historic Grand Final victory over Collingwood. Known for his toughness and discipline, Bingley played a vital role in defence during the gritty, low-scoring decider before returning to his home state immediately after the triumph. Despite his fleeting tenure at Moorabbin, his contribution remains immortalised as a member of the club's only premiership team.
