Stats
Bio
Recruited from Rushworth in the Goulburn Valley, Len May was a mobile utility who found regular senior opportunities at St Kilda after initially struggling to break into a strong Fitzroy side. He made a solitary appearance for the Maroons in 1924 but was unable to hold his spot, prompting a move to the Junction Oval the following season where the wooden spooners offered a clearer pathway to the first XVIII. Standing 180cm, May possessed a solid frame for the era and became a consistent figure for the Saints, rotating between the followers division and the forward line to support the team's structure. He played 20 games over two seasons for St Kilda, chipping in with 10 goals as a reliable depth player for a club attempting to lift itself from the bottom of the ladder.
