The son of Henry Thomas Tandy, and Catherine Lucy Tandy (1860–1945), née Williams,[2][3] Mark Henry Tandy was born in Newport, Victoria on 3 September 1892.
He married Lily Ford in 1917.

His quiet and easy-going nature led to Roy Cazaly calling him "Napper" – "the inglorious nickname "Napper" ... apparently arose because of his alleged propensity for "switching off" during games" (John Devaney, Full Points Footy Publications).[4]
A supremely accomplished rover/wingman who, along with Roy Cazaly, tore the heart out of the opposition. Playing as a wingman early in his career, he brought South Melbourne their second premiership in the 1918 Grand Final. With South trailing by a point, Tandy made an inspired run down the wing to deliver the ball into the forward lines where Laird kicked the winning goal.[5]

^While the nickname "Napper" may well have been bestowed upon him because of his propensity for "switching off", it's most likely that the connection between "Napper" and "Tandy" was already strongly suggested by the earlier James Napper Tandy, in the same way that Carlton's Fred Elliott's nickname of "Pompey" was suggested by Major General Harold Edward "Pompey" Elliott, etc.
