jack t. perkins -lrb- 20 january 1903 -- 12 may 1955 -rrb- was an australian rules footballer who played with st kilda in the victorian football league -lrb- vfl -rrb- .
perkins , a ruckman , spent most of his career at northcote , in the victorian football association -lrb- vfa -rrb- .
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 .
he was eventually re-registered and therefore allowed to play in the seconds , but instead applied for a transfer to st kilda .
already 31 years of age , perkins made his debut for st kilda in the ninth round of the 1934 vfl season .
he represented victoria against bendigo in 1935 and was club captain in 1936 .
a police constable , he was forced to retire after three vfl seasons , due to his work .
