Syd Phillips

Sydney Wilfred Hastings Phillips (born 27 May 1874, died 25 August 1960) was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL). After six years with St Kilda, a period spanning the time when the club entered the VFL, Phillips took a role with the Perth Mint in late 1898 and moved to Western Australia, where he was captain of the Perth Football Club for a few years. He later took up lawn bowls and became a state champion of both Victoria and Western Australia, so that his sporting life covered both a football code and the precision sport of bowls.
