Jack T. Perkins (20 January 1903 – 12 May 1955)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Perkins, a ruckman, spent most of his career at Northcote, in the Victorian Football Association (VFA). He was debarred by the league in 1934, after an accumulation of on-field indiscretions, which had seen him disqualified three times. Despite being de-registered by the VFA, he made two appearances for the Northcote seconds. Following a complaint over his eligibility to play in the seconds, Perkins was made to front the Association Permit and Umpire Committee.[2] He was eventually re-registered and therefore allowed to play in the seconds, but instead applied for a transfer to St Kilda.[3]
Already 31 years of age, Perkins made his debut for St Kilda in the ninth round of the 1934 VFL season.[4] He represented Victoria against Bendigo in 1935 and was club captain in 1936.[5] A police constable, he was forced to retire after three VFL seasons, due to his work.[6]
