  • Wally May (11 September 1926 – 16 May 2011) was an Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and later in the South Australian Football League SANFL. Recruited locally, Wally 'Chooka' May played as a ruckman and a defender for Essendon in 94 VFL games between 1947 and 1952. Runner-up in Essendon's best and fairest award in 1951, May asked for a clearance two years later to Sturt, and when this was refused, he stood out of football for a year until it was granted. In four seasons with the Double Blues, May played a total of 54 league games, plus 2 for South Australia, winning his club's best and fairest award in 1955. The 1956 season saw him installed as captain-coach, but after a dismal season that produced just 3 wins and a draw from 18 games, he resigned, citing 'business reasons'. He decided to remain with the club as a player under his replacement coach, Ed Tilley. After retiring from the sport, May remained in Adelaide and worked as a caster and a commenter talent during SANFL match telecasts. Wally May died on Monday, 16 May 2011. (en)
