Mark Tandy (footballer)

His quiet and easy-going nature led to Roy Cazaly calling him "Napper" – "the inglorious nickname "Napper" ... apparently arose because of his alleged propensity for "switching off" during games" (John Devaney, Full Points Footy Publications).Playing as a wingman early in his career, he brought South Melbourne their second premiership in the 1918 Grand Final.With South trailing by a point, Tandy made an inspired run down the wing to deliver the ball into the forward lines where Laird kicked the winning goal.One of the initial 136 inductees, Tandy was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1996.Victoria 15.13 (103) defeated Western Australia 14.11 (95), at North Hobart Oval, 9 August 1924, crowd: 15,687 Victoria 14.26 (110) defeated New South Wales 4.6 (30), at North Hobart Oval, 12 August 1924, crowd: 350
