Defender Hec McKay joined South Melbourne in 1926 and had a pronounced impact, winning the club's best and fairest award in only his second year. Tough, determined and speedy, he was at home in any defensive position. He was at full back when South overcame Richmond in the 1933 Grand Final, and excelled in a back pocket in the losing effort against the same opposition the following year. Between 1926 and 1935 he played 152 VFL games.
