- Wally_May abstract "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 gave Essendon fine service as a ruckman/defender in 94 VFL games between 1947 and 1952. Hard hitting and shrewd, he was the team player par excellence, and often saved his best form for when it mattered most, such as the 1949 and 1950 grand finals, both of which the Bombers won. Runner-up in Essendon's best and fairest award in 1951, he asked for a clearance two years later to Sturt, and when this was refused he stood out of football a year until it was granted. In four seasons with the Double Blues, Wally 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 which produced just 3 wins and a draw from 18 games he resigned, citing 'business reasons'. The character of the man is shown by his decision to remain with the club as a player under his replacement as coach, Ed Tilley.After his playing days were over May remained in Adelaide and is still remembered with affection and nostalgia by many South Australians for his impassioned 'special comments' during SANFL match telecasts. Indeed the phrase \"Comment, Wally May\" (uttered by the match commentator) has passed into South Australian football folk-lore.Wally May died on Monday, 16 May 2011. He was 84.The classic line was Wally's response to a particularly agonising piece of play that was in a game being directly televised. \"Comment Wally May?\" \"No comment\". \"Fair comment.\"".
