Debuting in 1942, Samuel John Everett "Sam" Loxton played 41 games in the VFL for St Kilda as a forward, kicking a total of 114 goals.
In 1944, he headed St Kilda's goal-kicking aggregate with 52 goals and placed second in the Club’s Best and Fairest.
At the end of the 1946 season Sam retired to concentrate on his cricket career. Loxton famously become one of Don Bradman's Invincibles, who went through the 1948 tour of England undefeated, an unprecedented achievement that has never been matched.
Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
