Family edit

The son of David Perkins (1871-1939),[1] and Julia Perkins (1876-1957), née Looney,[2] John Thomas Perkins was born at Chiltern Valley, Victoria on 20 January 1903.

He married Ivy Best (1903-1977) in 1929.

Football edit

Port Melbourne (VFA) edit

He played several games for Port Melbourne, before transferring to Northcote.

Northcote (VFA) edit

Perkins, a centre half-back,[3] spent most of his career at Northcote, in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).[4]

VFA Tribunal edit

He was de-registered by the VFA in 1933 following incidents in the first round of the VFA season. He had already been given lengthy suspension on three previous occasions for on-field violence: "for four weeks in 1925, for 11 weeks in 1929, and for almost the entire season in 1931".[5]

Despite not having been re-registered by the VFA, he made two appearances in 1934 for the Northcote seconds. Following a complaint over his eligibility to play in the seconds, Perkins' case was brought to the Association Permit and Umpire Committee.[6] He was eventually re-registered -- and, therefore, allowed to play in the seconds -- but, instead, he applied for a transfer to St Kilda.[7]

St Kilda (VFL) edit

Already 31 years of age, Perkins made his debut for St Kilda, as a ruckman, in the ninth round of the 1934 VFL season.[8][9]

He played in a combined Victorian Police Association side, against a combined Western District Football League side, at Hanlon Park on 6 October 1934;[10] and he represented Victoria against Bendigo in 1935.

He was St Kilda's club captain in 1936;[11] however, as a policeman, he was forced to retire after three VFL seasons, following a declaration by the new Police Commissioner, Alexander Duncan, that members of the Victorian police force could not play professional football.[12][13]

VFL Tribunal edit

He was suspended for 4 weeks for striking in September 1934; and was found not guilty of kicking in July 1936.

Death edit

He died at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, in Parkville, Victoria, on 12 May 1955.[14][15]
