Hall of Famer
Forgive a Carlton supporter's intrusion, but I am a native Tasmanian who remembers John Bingley as a Tasmanian football legend. I particularly remember him kicking the winning goal for Tassie against Western Australia in our famous win in Hobart in 1970.
He had only the 8 games in a disrupted St Kilda career, but he played in the most memorable and celebrated game in the club's history. A great article from Russell Holmesby here:

His record in Tasmanian football is absolutely outstanding. I read somewhere that he is only one of two players ever to represent the NWFU, NTFA, TFL (as the three associations were until the 80s), play for the state and also play VFL football.

Vale, John Bingley
St Kilda Football Club pauses to pay respect to Premiership Saint and Tasmanian football great, John Bingley.

Such sad news, and a damn shame when another premiership player passes. We don't have many left, think it's time the boys salute for these older legends of the club.
RIP
RIP
Our immortals are disappearing one by one.
We do need to win another Flag soon. Itās time to pass the baton and for our heroes to be able to see it happen.
Itās why I love the ruthlessness of the club ATM. Club first, individuals second. Itās time this club got it done. Itās been far too long.
John Bingley only played 8 games for St Kilda, but these included important roles in the successful 1966 PF and GF wins.
John played a brief but crucial role in the history of our club. His timing was impeccable. The stopping role John played on Tuddy in the GF was as good as anyone could muster.
RIP John.
Travelling to Canberra today we called in to a little pie shop at Yarck. Started talking to a wonderful lady who turned out to be Johnās sister. 92 and as well as being Sainters we both grew up in Launceston. Small world. Had a great chat over pies and coffee, passed on our condolence's and left with a Go Saints. Funeral is Feb 2 in Melbourne.
