SA Genealogy has death 3 April and birth as unknown - but the publication date was 17 April so it can be inferred that 15th is more correct

Been uploading a heap of super8/home movie footage on my YT channel relating to Essendon etc, and I suspect there would quite a few 'guernsey number changes' required down the track.

For instance - the unfurling of Essendon's 1965 flag which was on Rd 1 1966 has No. 39 and No. 40 which arent in the list we have. Robert Shaw (former player) says No. 39 on the vision seems to be Don McKenzie, and No. 40 may be Ted Fordham (who usually wears No. 20).

Haven't any match report evidence to support Robert Shaw's thoughts, but my earliest memories of watching the last quarter replays we used to get certainly makes me inclined to agree with him. #39 definitely looks like McKenzie, and #40 has the height and build of Fordham I reckon.

Rd 9 1957 footage posted shows St Kilda No. 29 wearing a crazy version of his guernsey number (looks like upside 6 or backwards 9)
Russell Holmesby - St Kilda historian - has confirmed that that is Bryant Hocking and he did wear No. 29 in 1957. (He sent me a seaprate image showing Hocking's torn No.29 guernsey from Round 5 earlier - which probably explains the strange 9 on the Rd 9 match)


Summary:
Changed Bryant Hocking to No. 29 for St Kilda 1957 season. And update his wiki page to show his death in the Deaths thread
