Recruited from Mentone after earlier schooling at Xavier College, Phil Manning was a Buln Buln native who earned a brief trial with Hawthorn late in the 1927 season. He made his senior debut in Round 17 against Melbourne and held his spot for the final match of the year against Richmond, where he booted his only career goal. Unable to add to his tally in subsequent seasons, his life was tragically cut short just three years later when he died aged 24 following a motorcycle accident in Melbourne.
