chris perry -lrb- born 24 october 1958 -rrb- is a former australian rules footballer who played with collingwood in the victorian football league -lrb- vfl -rrb- .
perry was a defender , often used as a reserve off the bench .
he missed selection for the 1977 vfl grand final but was recalled for the grand final replay to replace doug gott in the back pocket .
gott was omitted because of a knee injury , which was the same reason that perry had lost his place in the side in round 18 .
he left collingwood to return to his original club , stawell , in 1979 .
after a season he was lured back by tom hafey but more knee problems meant his comeback lasted just one year .
a `` best and fairest '' winner at wodonga in 1983 , perry later coached horsham united .
