Stats
Bio
A solidly built defender born in Northcote, Syd Hayhow arrived at St Kilda in 1927 offering a robust physical presence in the backline. Standing 182cm and weighing 87kg—significant size for the era—he was capable of matching up against key opposition forwards, managing nine senior appearances in his debut season at the Junction Oval. Unable to cement a long-term position with the Saints, Hayhow crossed to Hawthorn for the 1928 season, joining a struggling lineup that would ultimately claim the wooden spoon. He played six games in the Mayblooms' defence before his VFL career concluded, leaving him with a total of 15 games over two seasons.
