Australian Football

Originally from Albury, Billy McKay joined Sydney in 1924, and went on to enjoy an outstanding 12-season league career during which he proved himself one of the finest New South Welshmen to play the game during the inter-war period. A wingman in the main, he was a member of Sydney's winning Grand Final teams of 1925 against Paddington and 1931 against Newtown. He won the Provan Trophy (precursor of the Phelan Medal) in 1928 and 1929, and represented New South Wales on a record 31 occasions.
