Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Port Melbourne Juniors, Mick English arrived at the Junction Oval during a bleak chapter in St Kilda’s history. Standing 183cm—a formidable height for the era—he was immediately entrusted with a regular spot in the senior side for the 1902 season. English proved to be a durable and resilient competitor in a team that went winless throughout the entire year, missing just two matches and typically battling in key contested roles against overwhelmed defences. While his VFL career was confined to that single testing season, he remained a notable figure for his persistence under pressure. English later served in World War I and lived in Melbourne until his death in 1937.
